Well, friend, let's see your economic derivation of the "tax plan" you proffered in #393 and I'll guarantee it won't be "ignored".
You are the one unwilling to accept any studies from well-recognized economists. In fact it's quite clear that you have never studied the revenue neutral derivation(s) you were linked to many threads ago.
You even try to denigrate the 75 economists who clearly strongly support the FairTax to the President and to Congress:

#393 was a joke and you know it. You are just stonewalling on trying to think on your own without your canned BS responses. If the question doesn't fit the canned mold, you can't answer it. Real world examples with real payrolls and real costs don't fit your models.
If you can show where the 23% embedded taxes are coming from for this one typical business, then you will have gained a FairTax supporter. You may not even understand that the 23% is not there, and might learn something useful in trying to figure it out. There is no magic money here, the business has labor costs, supply costs, some overhead, and profit.
Find the hidden 23% and you're a hero.
I do my own thinking, I don't know these people and I'm not particularly fond of professor types. Most of them know 58 sexual positions but can't get a date.
I'd trust a bunch of business guys at a trade show any day over a bunch of academics. But they could be right, help them make their case with a real world example...
