Talk about pure fantasy, the artificially-inflated FairTax rates you quote are obviously out of whack ... maybe they should be called (im)pure fantasy. Sounds like the old liberal "cut out as much of the base as possible to boost the rate" trick.You refuse to admit that the AFT/FairTax rate is artificially deflated by having the federal government give themselves money and calling it revenue, but not calling it an expenditure.
I wonder ... do you suppose these "staff" work for Treasury??? Isn't Treasury the bunch that operates to $10B, 115,000 - man department called the IRS??? Could that influence any Treasury types to NOT want to see their budget (read political clout) cut??? Whaddya' thimk (and, yes, that's spelled "thimk"),That's right. You and the AFT got it all figured out and if anyone disagrees with you they must be a trying to protect the status quo. As if Treasury is going away if the FairTax were passed.
What indicates to you that this is the case?
Oh, really? What "people" would that be? YN, LL, and AR? Fanboys? Hey, everybody! YN has a new insult term!
"And you wonder why people liken you FairTax Fanboys to a cult."
Which "people" are you referring to ... yourself, lewislynn, Willie Green, Always Right and Protagaras? Did I leave anyone out?
