The contention of both of you has always been that the relevant language in the bill allows only an increase in the 23% rate by adjusting the two entitlement proportions only upward, thereby raising the 23% rate since the GRR is set at 14.91.

Another bold face lie. I can post numerous places on this thread that shows otherwise. Here is one example in 464:

You are confused here. The 14.91 GRR rate is fixed by the fairtax. It can not change. The taxpayers would have to say nothing to lower the rate overall rate, it would automatically adjust lower if your scenario of the other rates going lower did come about

The rate can go up or down automatically. Quite adding more lies to your the mountain and trying to change the subject.

"You are confused here. The 14.91 GRR rate is fixed by the fairtax [sic]. It can not change. The taxpayers would have to say nothing to lower the rate overall rate, it would automatically adjust lower if your scenario of the other rates going lower did come about "

Not confused, but yes, I did miss your post saying that. What number was it?

That is quite different tat what Looey has continually presented which was only a unilateral increase in the rate automatically.

Do you both agree, then, that a lowering of the entitlement rates as I have presented will automatically lower the FairTax rate??? I'd like an answer from each of you.

"Another bold face lie. I can post numerous places on this thread that shows otherwise."

OK - you've shown your #464 which I've said I missed. Please show the other instances of your "numerous times" and also, Looey, please do the same.

Oh BTW, you neglected to post your complete message from the part of #464 you offered (that I missed). At the end of the statement you also said "... (which it would not, BTW) ..." meaning that you reject the possibility of my observation about entitlement rates lowering and thereby you are saying that the upward-only change is the only possibility - and to me his greatly changes the import of what you say back to the original disagreement.

And that's exactly what you and Looey have been contending all along - that the FairTax rate will only increase automatically. Would you like to deny that (again)??
