[Your Nightmare]

Naw, Nightie, the FairTax is before both houses of Congress in bill form right now. Well fleshed-out and ready for passage.

That doesn't mean they aren't hypothetical. Do you even know what "hypothetical" means?

Your Nightmare tax (ahem!) "plans" aren't even on paper anywhere and have no details that do not constantly change with your arguments ad hoc.

There are two Flat Tax plans before Congress right now. So what? They are still just like the FairTax...hypothetical.

Well Nightie - "hypowhatever" means something like your Nightmare Tax notions - nonexistent in the real world.

The flat tax plans before Congress right now that you cite DO exist but are going nowhere. Neither of your Nightmare Tax notions are like the two flat tax bills - which as I recall you have repeatedly backed away from supporting but merely cited as examples of "flat tax".

That doesn't mean they aren't hypothetical.

This is why your credibility suffers. Word games are spotted easily by FReepers.

The fairtax hr 25 is not hypothetical. It's passage is.
