#485 We Don't Want That
Update: 2025-08-20
Description
Some people who are concerned about the regressivity of a consumption tax like the FAIRtax have suggested that the FAIRtax should contain exemptions for necessities like food and medicine.
This week, the FAIRtax Guys look at the SNAP program as an example of what happens when the government tries to define what “food” is, and they explain why the FAIRtax prebate is a much easier, and fairer way to ensure that no one pays the FAIRtax on their basic necessities.
