Be aware, RobFromGa, that the poster we know as Nightie is a virulent opponent doing nothing but attacking the FairTax and/or supporters at everry opportunity.RobFromGa, I'm sure you will recognize this as an ad hominem attack. They can't address the message so they go after the messenger.
As to Nightie's post #61 he points you to, it has been, verbatim, posted by him several times on these threads - and refuted just as many times.Actually, they've never been refuted. So, pigdog, can you show me one quote from an economist that says consumer prices will stay level while our nominal wages stay the same (take home goes up)? One?
You've been given a good bit of such data before, Nightie, but never accept it so it seems unreasonable to keep giving you more that you also won't accept. It's tiresome to hear your repetitive attacks on any and all things FairTax so providing you with more such data to attack is pointless. There are a number of studies that show this - and you know it (but refuse to accept their validity; instead posting the stuff from Brookings Institute, Gale, Bartlett, and others who are also know attackers of the FairTax).
Pretending it is otherwise is the height of something unhealthy it seems to me. You have never acknowledged your own biases.
You certainly like the use of the term "ad hominem" where it doesn't apply, though, I'll grant you that.
And BTW you've never explained to us how the flat tax (hopefully a real one rather than your F. T. 101 theory) will tax the underground economy or how it will help our exporters with border-adjustable taxes - just for starters?
