I kind of agree about the monthly rebate. Really, that is just a bad idea. The only way to implement a fair tax is to make everyone pay a sales tax. Having a portion of our society recieve a monthly check from the government is just a bad, bad idea.

I say no rebates, no nothing. If you don't like paying taxes, vote for a smaller government. No more voting to spend someone elses money.

The one other solution of course, is to give people an id card that they can show to aviod paying the fair tax on products. Kind of like a handicap sticker to park in the handicap spot. You would get a "I'm too poor to pay my fair share" card and you could show it to the cashier to avoid paying your fair share. The card could even have a picture of a leech on it.

Creating a department to send people monthly rebate checks is a dangerous idea.
