Sorry, but you are wrong also. That's the very contention that all of you FairTax opponents have been making and it is flatly wrong as I said in #723.

Just because you say it means squat. Show me in the bill where government salaries are treated different than other 'gross payments'. I have not seen such a distinction pointed out in the bill. The fairtax taxes 'gross payments' and 'gross payments' include the fairtax.

The fairtax taxes 'gross payments' and 'gross payments' include the fairtax.

There is no "fairtax" on government wages. There is no taxable sale of a good or service. Hence the tax to "include" is zero.

A $100 wage results in a $23 tax. You and Rob are the only ones who still don't get it.
