Yes, Judy, the family consumption allowance is an entitlement for every qualified family.
From the actual Bill:
SEC. 301. FAMILY CONSUMPTION ALLOWANCE.
`Each qualified family shall be eligible to receive a sales tax rebate each month. The sales tax rebate shall be in an amount equal to the product of--
`(1) the rate of tax imposed by section 101, and
`(2) the monthly poverty level.
`SEC. 302. QUALIFIED FAMILY.
`(a) General Rule- For purposes of this chapter, the term `qualified family' shall mean 1 or more family members sharing a common residence. All family members sharing a common residence shall be considered as part of 1 qualified family.
Now that we have confirmed the alleged fairtax creates an entitlement, why do you persist in avoiding a discussion of how the family consumption allowance helps to make poor working people dependent upon government for a monthly rationed supply of tax free necessities of life?
Is it not true this monthly check allows taxpayers, and especially the poor, to purchase a rationed supply of tax free necessities, which in turn makes voters with limited economic means, dependent upon the federal government for a portion of their monthly economic needs? Were we not warned in the Federalist Papers that control over a man’s subsistence amounts to a power over his will?
And tell us, Judy, under the alleged fairtax and its family consumption entitlement, how many more “poor working people” would have a vested interest in voting for progressives, socialists and communists during election time who would promise to work to increase the family consumption entitlement? Is this not how Fifth Column members of Congress stay in power in our nation’s poorest voting districts ____ by offering their constituency free government cheese?
Tell me Judy, why are you so eager to create another entitlement, which would help our Fifth Column member in Congress to remain in power by promising our nation’s poor during each election time to alter the fairtax and enlarge the family consumption entitlement?

Judy, why do you avoid talking about the consequences of government cheese

In my post concerning the family consumption allowance I wrote:
The alleged FairTax, if adopted, would also put every American household on the public dole with the fairtax’s family consumption allowance, which would then allow our communists, socialists and progressives in Congress to bribe an overwhelming segment of our nation’s population with a higher family consumption allowance during every election.
After you challenged the comment, I then used specific language by writing: Yes. The family consumption allowance is an entitlement to every qualified family and went on to lay out the consequences of creating a new entitlement ___ consequences which you do not seem to want to discuss even though one of the consequences is the family consumption entitlement creates a massive voting block dependent upon a monthly government check for its subsistence.

There is no better way to weaken, destroy and subjugate a prosperous and freedom loving country than by importing the world’s poverty stricken populations into that country.
Judy, what about the consequenses of the family consumption entitlement?

Farewell, ole friend!

Well, now you have decided to post insults and a misrepresentation of my views rather than discuss the consequences of the family consumption allowance, one of which is, it creates a massive voting block dependent upon government for a monthly subsistence check.
I also noticed you indicate the "Rebate that exempts "necessities of life" from federal taxation under the FairTax." That is not entirely true, Judy.
Under the alleged fairtax, a monthly check is sent to every qualified household which may be used by the household as it pleases. The necessities of life are not exempt from the alleged "fairtax". By contrast, our founders intended that the necessities of life would not be taxed.
Why must you make stuff up to support the alleged fairtax?

If we can make 51 percent of America’s population dependent upon the federal government for its subsistence, we can then bribe them for their vote, keep ourselves in power and keep the remaining portion of America’s productive population enslaved to pay the bills ____ Our Fifth Column’s long term strategy ___ a plan to establish a federal plantation that confiscates and then redistributes the bread which labor, business and investors have worked to produce
