Nope Rongie, "... the researchers denial that they both can happen ..." is the fiction that the Squirrels are trying to promote. I know of no researchers who have made anything resembling a definitive statement like that - just youse guys (and I doubt you'd qualify as "researchers").
Frequently Asked Question:
Question: If most taxes are pocketed by individuals, how can prices fall after a 23 percent tax is applied?
Fairy Tax Wizard: Well Dr. Jorgenson tells us prices fall 22 percent because of all the embedded taxes.
Question: But doesnt Dr. Jorgenson include employee paid taxes as part of embedded tax.
Fairy Tax Wizard: Yes, but since we dont make the details of Dr. Jorgenson work available, no one should know.
Question: But hasnt this been exposed to as a lie, how do you respond?
Fairy Tax Wizard: Well, dont call it a lie; it was a simple mistake we have been covering up for many many years. The best way to respond is to use Pixie Dust.
Question: Pixie Dust, what is Pixie Dust?
Fairy Tax Wizard: Pixie Dust is the use of fuzzy undefined terms to make false claims. Embedded Taxes was our favorite Pixie Dust, but as the truth to that one is being exposed we are switching to Cascading Taxes as our favorite form of Pixie Dust.
Question: So if prices are going to rise, wont people who have previously earned and paid tax their money be at a disadvantage and have to pay taxes twice.
Fairy Tax Wizard: Oh young one, you fail to understand the real power of Pixie Dust. With Pixie Dust all claims are possible. You can still claim prices will fall. You can claim outrageous economic growth and fuller than full employment, and at the same time claim the fed will lower interest rates. As our great founder said, All you need is faith and trust... and a little bit of pixie dust!
