1. So you want to protect your own ass at the expense of others. You get your tax write offs but we get the slippery end of the stick. Thanks. Don't do us any more favors.

Yes, that is my right to stick up for my interests. There are millions of Americans who do not make out with the fairtax.

2. BS. You are, once again, misrepresenting what is being stated.

No, you fail to understand the signficance of what is being stated. The debate over whether employee taxes were included in Jorgenson's 'embedded tax' number has been a huge point of contention. One that totals more than $1.3 Trillion a year. This one slight of hand amounts to fairtaxers misrepresenting the economic impact of the fairtax by nearly 10-15% of our GDP.

Sticking up for your interests is one thing. Screwing the 100-200 million of the rest of us just so you can keep playing the current system is despicable.

No. It represents your misrepresentation of the facts so that you can keep playing the current IRS system to get your tax breaks. For still others, they LIKE a progressive tax scheme.

Keep cheerleading for keeping the current IRS system in place. That'll win your side a lot of converts 'cause everyone loves the IRS.
