Go look up the definition of inflation. It is a purely monetary phenomenon, as Friedman and von Mises pointed out.
Just look at what the fairtax does to rents. If you have a $1000 per month lease, when the fairtax is implemented, you will then be liable for an additional $298.70 each month. You rent just went up 29.87%. You might not call that inflation, but to the person paying it, it is.
However, what do you call a situation wherein prices rise X% over time under one tax regime, but rise X+Y% over the same time frame under a different tax regime, the sole difference between the two regimes being the principal taxing scheme?
Perhaps someone needs to coin a new word, because said price increase differential would surely be the case, comparatively, in a 'fair' tax scheme.
Go look up the definition of inflation. It is a purely monetary phenomenon,The definition of inflation is meaningless since it was bastardized to fraud when they eliminated food and energy from the equation.
