Well since you can not reconcile Jorgenson's statement

"Since producers would no longer pay taxes on profits or other forms of capital income under the NRST and workers would no longer pay taxes on wages, prices received by producers, shown in the sixth chart,would fall by an average of twenty percent."

with any of your claims

I don't have to claim anything.

The Jorgenson papers provide the clear basis as his first year 10% GDP growth large production increases and consequent demand for labor increases significantly precluding any fall in gross wages paid to employees.

 

, how can you with a straight face insist that you comprehend it?

Very easily, as I bother to read the full report in context.

You speaketh with folk tongue. You just blindly choose to ignore the definition of embedded taxes from the study you guys always quote so you can lie about what they are.

“It is amazing how many people think that they can answer an argument by attributing bad motives to those who disagree with them. Using this kind of reasoning, you can believe or not believe anything about anything, without having to bother to deal with facts or logic.”
--Dr. Thomas Sowell

Your false assertions no matter how many times repeated remain false.

Which has nothing to do with the price of tea in China. We are talking about prices dropping 20% because of embedded taxes. You can change the arguement to something else, but it doesn't change the fact that your fairytale scenerio of employees keeping their full paycheck and prices coming down 20% is a total misrepresentation of what Jorgenson said. This is a $1.335 Trillion lie. You can rationalize it away with excuses and other explainations, but it does not change the fact the you continue this lie.
