Just so, pigdog.

The point is that the "tax cost of government" (which includes far, far more costs than just the taxes withheld FRom wages), when squeezed out of retail prices on domestic goods and services is likely to be offset exactly by the Fair Tax.

I still maintain that a $100 retail item in the progressive income tax environment will be a $100 retail item (tax inclusive) in the Fair Tax environment.

Sounds very likely I think.

Good to see you back on the threads!

Based on what? Because you feel that way. Now that the source for that claim has completely discredited it, what are you basing it on?
