Considering that we can't even get most people to agree that the Laffer Curve exists, and that to a point tax rate cuts increase revenue through growth...
And considering that our government uses static models in predicting effects of tax law changes because dynamic models are too risky evne though there is plenty of data to allow its use...
And considering that our own budget deficit estimates under a fairly fixed set of laws and conditions fluctuate wildly over time...
The entire Fair Tax movement appears to be a very risky scheme from any rational point of view. We do not tolerate these high levels of risk and we are in the middle of a world war that needs to be financed to boot. I think this whole exercise is a huge waste of time.
