Where in their letter do the 75 economists state that gross pay will stay the same under the FairTax?
I thought YOU were the guy who was so expert that he'd digested all of the information on the FairTax website.
Now, it turns out that isn't true at all - and you won;t take my word for it - so re your opostss #70 & #72, see #78 where it CLEARLY states that. I guess you missed that when you "digested" the entire FairTax website, eh?
As for your #73, Robbie, what I think is that wage-earners will receive all their pay (which they do not now as perhaps you know) as stated by the 75 economists. That will certainly give them a "leg up" on climbing the economic ladder. It will also give them the control over their own economic livelihood for a change instead of having the money taken from them "up front" and they can decide by making decisions that suit them as to whether and when to pay taxes via consumption.
Do you choose to not believe that?
