"... just the typical honesty pigdog brings to the debate ..."
Easy with the personal attacks.
I don't see that your analogy makes much sense however. There are actually five people cited as authors of the report in question. Do you find them all to be "paid for shills" - especially so since AFFT is not mentioned in the paper?
Are you going to deny that Kotlikoff has not been paid by AFFT for his work promoting the fairtax?
