That's true. Most of us probably know people who say they support the Second Amendment, and may even believe they're pro gun, but who think CHL shouldn't be allowed to carry everwhere (and every way) off duty LEO can carry. In the same way, there are people who say they support fair taxation, but think it's a good idea to embrace "limited" socialist wealth distribution in the form of tax credits or "prebates" or "goolamontogues" plans. :mrgreen:

If that was true, they could simply lower the tax rate for everyone, making the Fair Tax [sic] actually a fair tax by charging everyone the same nominal and effective tax rates. There's no need to pass it through the government's hands at all, if the goal is to redistribute my wealth to myself. Just let me keep it.

But that's not their plan. Instead, they intentionally put a handout into their plan, and do a lot of hand waving to distract people from the fact that it's a handout. That's socialist weath distribution no matter how hard they try to spin it.

How so?
The handout (prebate) is socialist wealth redistribution. That makes it unfair.
