To be honest, I laughed when I read it. What you called "the very real potential..." was as absurd as if you said you're growing a third eyebrow.

Now you've got me laughing. Perhaps a little personal introspection and a good history book would help you.

No more than if that happened under the present tax system.

LOL! That's like saying that if everyone got paid under the table instead of having to suffer immediate confiscation that the present tax scam would not be affected. Just who do you expect is going to believe this stuff.

No it isn't. I said if the illegal economy increased ten times -- an order of magnitude (your strawman) -- neither the present tax system nor the Fairtax would survive. 

It's exactly like saying "an illegal economy of services and black market goods that has the very real potential to increase by, at least, an order of magnetude" -- eskimo@ 101

Yeah right -- NOT! An order of magnitude (correct spelling) -- ten times increase of the illegal economy. And you think people are going to take you seriously!? 

You're hoot!

Your point is unclear. Could you amplify upon it?
