"Take a look at post #1041 and tell me that he is an honest debater and not a disruptor who is disengenuous."
Good point, Ray. You can add 1048 to that. He has studied the FairTax extensively, can cite chapter and verse from the bill itself, posts extensive exerpts from sources such as Brookings, the National Retail Federation and other staunch guardians of the status quo.
He says that he thinks there are other better proposals out there, which is why he constantly attacks the FairTax. When you ask him what proposal he likes better, his response is not a specific proposal, but a generic type of tax: "flat tax or VAT". When you ask him for a link to the proposal that he favors, he insultingly says there are many studies out there on the generic tax forms that he favors. Ask him a specific question, such as the rate that he would use, and he evades the question. He criticizes the economic studies which have been done on the FairTax, but offers none in support of his preferred alternative.
I have to agree with badray on this one.
When you ask him for a link to the proposal that he favors, he insultingly says there are many studies out there on the generic tax forms that he favors.All the studies I've seen of a NRST are generic.
He criticizes the economic studies which have been done on the FairTax, but offers none in support of his preferred alternative.I've also ask you where I can get any study of the FairTax. I've never seen one.
Thanks.
