I have not "insisted" as you put it that the 23% rate cannot change

Nice attempt to twist the subject yet again. You have insisted numerous times that it takes an act of Congress to change the 23 percent rate. Instead of lying and/or changing the subject, why not just say, hey I misunderstood it and was mistaken. Instead of looking like a fool and defending something that is clearly wrong. After you admit how the fair tax rate will automatically fluctuate with changes in the two entitlement components of the overall fairtax rate, then we can get to the debate about whether we think those rates go up or down. But right now that point is mute because you are mistaken about what the bill says.

You are (still) mistaken. What I have said in the three posts (#334, 351, and 368) is that it would take Congregational action to reduce the 23% rate. Beyond that the entitlement proportional rates you mention will fall, not rise due to the increased economic activity ... and increased economic activity is what every economic study on the FairTax plan shows.

Your posture is simply nonsense since you don't grasp the concept. There is no way I should "admit" that I misunderstood or was mistaken since I am neither. That would be more properly something you should be doing since your presumed one-way street to push those proportions up isn't in the cards ... and you don't seem to realize it.
