If the equation did not allow for increases or decreases in wages, you'd complain about the formula. As is, you assert that the formula permitting the wage to change must mean that wages fall.
Talk about misleading.

So eliminating the income tax (reducing the marginal tax rate on labor income to zero) in favor of a NRST causes the price of labor to go down in the model.
Talk about misleading.
