The rebate provisions Linder was explaining (incorrectly) are there for use conversions and mixed use probperty. Requiring anything like that in the bill (which is not done) would certainly be nonsense.So you are saying Linder was incorrect in his understanding of how the FairTax would work?
Let me be a bit more specific, Nightie.
I'm saying that the quotation you posted claiming to be from Linder was apparently an unprepared, offhand response presumably to a posed question. If Linder said that, his response was incorrect if he were trying to indicate what the normal tax free mechanism to use would be.
At this point I have no idea just what might have been said. Perhaps you could tell me which specific document in the TaxAnalysts repertoire it might be in (e.g., #145-50, etc.) so that I can see the specifics and the context more exactly.
