As I told you previously, Mr. Boortz neither authored the bills nor cosponsored them. He merely co-wrote a boot at the request of a publisher (he FairTax organization was not involved). He also is welcome to express his opinion however I don't agree with either the percentage you claim he gave OR his definition of "embedded taxes".

And, no, that's not parsing. The labor costs (payroll/fica) are gathered up into product costs which will for the most part remain in product costs when the FairTax becomes law. The embedded taxes will be done away with. Your colleagues have stipulated on these threads that these embedded taxes amount to 9% and not 22%. You've surely been on these threads enough to have known this.

"The labor costs (payroll/fica) are gathered up into product costs which will for the most part remain in product costs when the FairTax becomes law"

I TOLD YOU I DON'T CARE!

This has got to be the tenth time I told you. Are you THAT dense?

I don't care if they stay or are removed. They're there! To the tune of 22% today. People buying a product today are paying that 22%.

I don't care what happens to them after the Fair Tax is implemented. Those costs COULD be removed -- you don't even know! How can you possibly tell me they will remain?
