Such comments are the reason your side doesn't convince anyone who has actually studied these issues and cannot be convinced by mere rhetorical rodomontades. It takes honest and careful analysis something your friends are singularly incapable of doing.

LOL! Anyone interested can go here and read (requires acrobat reader) an open letter to the President, the Congress, and the American people signed by 75 economists from across this land, whom "my side" has convinced, endorsing the Fairtax.

Of course I FULLY expect you to say that THESE folks don't known what they are talking about either!

And Clinton had letters written by hundreds of historians telling the House that is should not impeach him.

However, given the fact that there are thousands of economists and less than 1% signed that letter I am not terribly impressed. I would like to ask them the same questions I have asked you guys.

If they could be answered to my satisfaction there is no reason I would not support FT. Though it would increase my tax bill I have no doubt.
