To protect low-wage earners who are excluded from income taxes today, a national sales tax would have an exemption for all taxpayers to offset the taxes on spending equal to or higher than the federal poverty level, now about $9,800 for an individual and $19,500 for a family of four. How would consumers get the rebate? The "Fair Tax" legislation envisions monthly rebate checks, about $188 for a single taxpayer or $375 for the family of four.

And there's your loophole...
