Tell that to the paulsen/nightmare group, who are still using its convolutions to argue against supporting the Fair Tax.

That's why I posted the link. They should read it and move on to something else. There really is no argument here. The percentage figure for the tax is still being debated and the numbers I have seen vary anywhere from 19 to 30 percent. You can drive a truck through that spread. The number is a long way from being finalized. I don't think this opposition is idea based but agenda based.

I'm still waiting to hear how wages must decline if the fair tax comes to pass.

And that's why I then commented that we had already seen the link and:
-- "If you read the last hundred posts or so, you would discover that many of us here are discussing that "very open explanation", and rejecting it as overly convoluted BS."

They should read it and move on to something else.

Indeed they should.
But they won't, because they have a statist quo agenda.

No. Wages must drop for prices to drop ~20% or prices can stay the same, exclusive of tax, and people can take home their check with no withholdings.

I'm still waiting for someone to give me a reasonable explanation of how prices can stay the same with the 30% sales tax while we are taking home what use to be withheld from our paychecks and getting $500 a month from the government. They don't call it the FairytaleTax for nothing.
