What??? NO VAT reco??? Surely you jest. Better go before the Panel by special appointment and set them square, Nightie.

I've never thought there was much chance they would recommend a VAT.

And nowhere have I seen any sort of lucid description of why the same level of evasion as at present is used when that is clearly not the case at all.

Your problem is you have to be lucid to recognize a lucid description. It's obvious you are not a rational person.

That's merely another of the Panel Staff's boo-boos (or bias; or lack of knowledge).

Your consistent habit of declaring anyone who disagrees with you as having a bias does nothing more than display your own bias.

Don't you think it's pretty likely that the Panel will reco the FairTax and a mod to existing IT

LOL! No. There is absolutely no chance of the Panel recommending the FairTax or a NRST in general. None.

Want to predict the Panel's 9/30 recos??

I have previously.

You've posted the 9/30 reco prediction previously?? Must have been really enlightening since it has slipped my mind. Perhaps you could post it again since I'm sure inquiring minds want to know.

What makes it so "obvious" to you that I'm "... not a rational person ..." - merely because I realize the FairTax obtains much more tax revenue from the underground economy than an income tax system??? Perhaps you could explain the "irrationality" of that.

Pointing out the obvious flaws and oversights in the Staff's "analysis" (which seems to have the force of law with you) is quite different than just disagreeing with them (which I also do) or merely calling them biased.

It is showing very clearly that they have not considered things that obviously have large economic effects and therefore skews their presentations (presumably accidentally) in a direction deleterious to the FairTax. And those are only things that are on the surface. Once more is known about their derivations it will, I'm sure, be quite apparent that they were off-base in a number of other areas also.

The reason you think I'm "biased" of course is that I disagree with you. In the case of the Panel Staff I don't just "declare" them biased, but show where their analysis if off base and inaccurate.
