Actually, you'd get your full wages untaxed when you receive them; the tax is paid under your control as you purchases taxable things (not all things are taxed).
The trash about wages going down is just spin from the Status Quo Lovers who hype a liberal reporter's incorrect claims about what one economist said (the economist never said what was presented).
You and everyone else who works for wages seem to know this, but the Status Quo Lovers believe they can fool you all by promoting what isn't true. I believe they're wrong.
Why doesn't fairtax.org just ask Dr. Jorganson to clarify????????????????????? They don't because they are lying. Dr. Jorgenson has already clarified that they lied and you still continue to maintain that lie. Unbelievable. How long are you going to keep your little fariyhead buried in the sand?
