And when the two entitlement rates fall in proportion to the third one (the GRR) due to the increased economic activity the FairTax brings, the amount needed to generate the requisite wage proportion will be less that at present for both not more. This means that the remaining portion which is the General Revenue Rate will in effect increase since the other two have decreased and the statutory rate for all three combined must be 23% (or whatever the rate ends up as in the bill) unless changed by Congress.
