To boil it all down, the 100% paycheck myth (same pay as before but no taxes removed) is the main lie of the FairTax plan.

I agree. There is even quotes from their experts that say one or the other must happen, not both. Employees can not keep 100% of their paycheck AND prices can not come down 20%. I firmly believe that is why Dr. Jorgenson does not endorse the fair tax anymore, they twist his analysis. This is a $1 Trillion lie, it is not a small deal.

I disagree. I don't know why it's hard to understand that the timing of paying taxes changes from being withheld from pay until time money is spent.

Why is that impossible?

As I've said, Rob - see #154.

What you say here is nonsense.
