You've put out FAR more in the way of misinformation than the FairTax organization ever has.
This is the point in are show where I ask you to give an example of "misinformation" I've put out and you are unable to provide it.


And it is YOU who assume that such is IN the FairTax base. I doubt that it is; perhaps you need to do a bit more research since you merely assume things not in evidence.
I gave you conclusive evidence, you just refuse to believe it.

You gave "conclusive evidence"??? Not hardly. All that showed up was merely your interpretation which, as we know, is biased against anything Fairtax though you can't admit it.

Actually several of your bits of "misinformation" have been pointed out in past threads (including the one with the 400% plus "oversight") but you really needn't look further than your trying to imply that soup given away by a charitable organization is taxable. As I told you, Nightie, that isn't consumption.

As I said it:

"... does not qualify as consumption since it is not a taxable event - it is a gift by that organization, not a sale to a consumer. It's what they're "in business" for, you see."

... so there is no circular logic involved at all except yours in trying to claim something that was not said and is not true. The soup is given away as a normal course of "business" and is never taxed since it is not consumption under the FairTax and is not purchased.

The operative phrase in the bill is "purchased for final consumption" - and while the soup may be for final consumption, it is not purchased by an end consumer. It's a gift ... charity.

OTOH the government IS taxed because they are taxed now in much the same manner (and should therefore be part of the tax base) and they are - in effect - selling their services to taxpayers who "consume" as well as pay for those services. The bill doesn't say you have to get GOOD services or get your money's worth but just that such are "purchased for final consumption" by a consumer even though he gets poor results for his money in many cases.

Perhaps having the FairTax as the law will help people see that and demand "more for their money" - because it IS our money Nightie (despite what you and your kind like to believe).
