"Most recently the FairTax commission found that the FairTax Rate was grossly understated by the FairTax people and that the actual rate would have to be MUCH HIGHER than 29.87% exclusive "
Aside from this particular gross misstatement of fact about the non-existent "FairTax Commission" the supposedly factual information is wildly incorrect as can be easily seen by reading the paper in the lead-in post.
Ignoring all of the self-serving spam and vanity postings of this poster - which for some reason the Admin Moderator continues to allow even though it clearly violates FR Posting Guidelines - the facts he presents are wildly off-base and have been refuted by others many times ... yet he still persists in posting them yet again. Perhaps he's like those who think that saying "I can fly, I can fly" enough times will make him sprout wings and rise off the ground.
I have personally refuted all of the claims he makes in his capitalized paragraphs (as have others) and won't waste time repeating them except to show one example. The heading "FAIR TAX RATE:" where he throws out a 36% plus rate )obtained from his hip pocket apparently) is roundly and completely refuted by the serious economic study presented in the lead-in post which shows that a 23% rate would be just fine - and this is a static analysis which always favors the status quo. With a decent dynamic analysis, it's very likely the requisite rate will be lower yet. Government spending on purchases and their own employees wages (taxed at 23%) are also considered and included in deriving the 23% rate.
"FairTax Commission" should have read President's Tax Reform Commission.
My facts are not wildly off base, and the FairTax proponents have backed off many previous claims due to the work of me and others who are exposing the double-counting and lies of Boortz and Linder, and the entire FairTax shill community. A little over a year ago, you were all still promising 100% paychecks and prices staying the same.
You have personally attempted to refute many of my arguments, and you have been wrong on almost every single count. Your only wins are the occasional inadvertent error such as me calling the President's Commission the FairTax Commission. That's all you've been able to win.
Your beloved FairTax is dead. It is exposed for the misrepresentation of the truth that it is. Deal with it.
