What makes you think you know the opinions of the panel? Because they are asking legitimate questions?I was basing it on their comments and questions. Please forgive me if I gave impression that I knew the opinions of the panel.
I am pretty certain that two members of the commission like our proposal a lot.Based on what?
Almost everyone has reservations when they first hear about the FairTax. In general, I have found that the more those new to the concept know, the better they like the proposal.I have found that the more people are misled by the supporters of the FairTax the more they like the proposal.
We shall see. I don't claim to know what the panel is thinking, other than some positive signs from two of the members.Did they wink at you or what?
I doubt that the individual members themselves know what their final report will conclude. For you to insinuate that you do is sort of silly IMHO.It's not silly, it's looking at the situation realistically. A NRST has no chance of being recommended by this panel. None.
"Based on what?"
Primarily based on conversations they have had with our people - outside of the hearings. Also, Congressman Linder is very optomistic and he has had numerous in-depth conversations with the commission members individually, even though he hasn't testified. No sitting elected officials have testified.
I have heard reporters write about how difficult it is to determine which way the Supreme Court judges are leaning on a case by listening to their questions from the bench. In some cases, they do expose their positions during that time; in most cases they don't.

Will you agree not to deny making this statement at the end of July?
Don't make me look this up and post its link to another thread!!
