Dear Always Right,

LOL. Even BOORTZ admits there is no simultaneous 25% pay increase and 23% price cut.

And yet, there are some who refuse to acknowledge reality.

Eventhough a fairtaxer posted this thread, I have a funny feeling they will not be bumping it. They will be running for cover. Lesson, read the WHOLE article before posting.

This is my favorite part:
"I pressed the point with Boortz and Linder. Boortz denies that the book intentionally overpromises. The introduction, he notes, emphasizes that "this book isn't about saving a penny in taxes." But he concedes that the book is confusing about this, and vows to correct it in later printings."
The book isn't "confusing" about this, it's flat out wrong!

Boortz is a joke. It's no wonder he hitched his wagon to the FairTax.

Rob is going to be pleased. Basically a page of Money Magazine is devoted to explaining the major flaw in the fair tax rhetoric. I have been harping on this for years, but it was Dr. Jorgenson's confirmation that Rob originally got that really exploded it. Of course Money does not credit Rob, but we know where it came from.
