Why is it hard to believe that taxes can be paid AFTER one receives his paycheck?... Nothing, and I am not even arguing that. What I am arguing is that the fair tax analysis is being sold as some fairytale outcome. People get to keep their all their paychecks and prices still fall. The pitch is based on pure fraud. I have demonstrated that over and over and over again. Until someone produces Jorganson's study with his methodology and with his definition of 'embedded taxes', you can't dispute it. What is so hard about getting Jorgansons's study???? Jorganson himself has said 'either' prices fall or employees take home goes up. But the fair tax sales's pitch depends on BOTH happening.

Why don't you purchase the book. Read it, and if you do not like it, then make your arguments? I just do not understand how you can be so pro Progressive Karl Marx style Tax that has over 60,000 pages that no one understands? What part of embedded taxes do you not understand?

Let me explain embedded taxes like this.
Before a consumer buys a product it goes from the Manufacture, then to the Distributor, then to the Marketer. Each one is in business to make a profit. Therefore, when they sell their product they mark it up. By the time it gets to the consumer it has been marked up three times. Compound that with whatever the Feds take out of your income tax, fica, and state. Moreover, then add a sales tax. By the time a customer makes a purchase this product has been heavily taxed. The Fair Tax eliminates all taxes except at the retail. The real name is the NRST. If you think about it we are over taxed as a society...
