OK - you've shown your #464 which I've said I missed

Odd that you missed it because you responded to it in post 468.

Please show the other instances of your "numerous times"

OK, here are a couple more....

From post 472, BTW which you also responded to: For the 20th time, I never attempted to debate whether those rates will raise or fall. It makes no difference to this point. The point was that the overall rate would automatically change when those rates changed. You keep incorrectly insisting it takes an act of congress to change the 23% rate.

And from post 474: After you admit how the fair tax rate will automatically fluctuate with changes in the two entitlement components of the overall fairtax rate, then we can get to the debate about whether we think those rates go up or down. But right now that point is mute because you are mistaken about what the bill says.

Must I really go on proving how untruthful you are?

Your posts here make little sense,

In #472 contradicts your own #464 since you state (in #464) that the entitlement proportions will not decrease - as I just pointed out above. This means, indeed, that you ARE saying (as is Looey) that the FairTax can only go upward automatically. It also means that your claim of "not debating" the direction of change is wrong. You certainly did in #464. Or maybe it was just a lie like you continuously still accuse me of???

In #474 you shoot yourself in the foot again since I've said nothing about the rate "automatically fluctuating" at all. In fact, what I've said is quite the opposite. I've said there will be no automatic annual increase by your "unelected bureaucrats" and that with the undoubted change in the entitlement proportions going down, that there will be no "automatic" decrease either since either the FairTax rate or the GRR would have to be changed - and that would be a Congressional action. I believe that abandoning that responsibility to the "unelected bureaucrats" as the two of you claim would probably be unconstitutional or at least a power and responsibility that Congress would not be willing to hand over to two subordinate agencies.
