Hardly, all anyone has been referring to is the effect on prices as a consequence of implementing the FairTax legislation.

What planet have you been living on? The 22% embedded tax mantra has been the staple of sales tax supporters for 6 years. Now you are telling us embedded taxes includes cascading effects, economic growth, changing consumers behavior, and whatever other fuzzy predictions you can use to cover up the blantant lie. Give me a break.

The 22% embedded tax mantra has been the staple of sales tax supporters for 6 years.

And you have been trying to limit debate to your subset of cause for just as long.

Now you are telling us embedded taxes includes cascading effects, economic growth, changing consumers behavior,

Yep, and always have. Just as every economist worth his hire will inform you.

and whatever other fuzzy predictions you can use to cover up the blantant lie.

The only lie lay with that which you apparently do to yourself in convincing your self that commerce operates in a vaccuum of one business (your own).

Give me a break.

You get no breaks, because you are well aware that the the total effect of a repeal of a tax system on commerce is much greater that simply adding up out of pocket expenses for accounting and taxes per-se.
