He's actually come along ways towards understanding that. He seems to have conceded that only about 9% out of the 23% can possibly be used to reduce prices. That is something they had been in denial about for years.

Yes, he seems to have accepted that. But he doesn't seem to know why.

LOL, true. It is nice to see more people standing up to the fairtax BS. The some merit going to a sales tax, but their sales pitch is complete fantasy.

Not sure as to who is meant by "they", but I've had no "denial". In fact, there are other places that price reductions might be found other than just employee wage/payroll withholding. You nattering naysayers don't seem to grasp that. But certainly 9% is a good start - or even 5% at which point the FairTax does just fine, too. Then, too so would 12-15% for that matter.
