If you want to discuss dead weight costs, compliance, etc. we can do so, but that is a separate issue from my point.

ROTFLMAO!! Those cost you so cavalierly toss away as a separate issue are the issue and always have been, that with tax repeal, make up the full potential for decline in prices received by thge producer(i.e. before NRST prices!!!)

Obtuse as ever I note!!!

No. The problem discussing this issue with you is that you say the income tax causes $XX in dead weight loss so that would be taken out of prices. First, dead weight loss can affect prices, but not nearly the full amount of dead weight loss like you try to do. Second, you don't account for any dead weight loss due to the FairTax! As if applying a 30% sales tax won't affect the demand curve at all.

As usual, you look at the negatives of the current system and ignore them for the FairTax. It doesn't make for a very honest debate.
