Well the book makes it very simple to understand.. That is what makes me highly suspicious of Rob. He loves to punish the current tax code that punishes success, and rewards failure...
He loves to punish the current tax code that punishes success, and rewards failure...LOL!..Right, there's absoluteley no chance to be successful without big government fixing itself...< /sarcasm >
Your problem with success is you, not "the present system".
I see you can't stop talking about me, even though you've given up on me.
What are your paranoid fantasies about my motives? I am just a normal businessman with a family that I'd like to be able to support. I have the audacity to ask questions about your FairTax proposal-- which you obviously don't understand or you'd be able to clear all these supposed misunderstndings up with facts in a heartbeat-- and I must be some sort of what?
The fact that you are not able to show where Bob the Baker is going to take his current price of $1.00 per loaf and reduce it to $0.77 per loaf, while still allowing his employees to keep all of their tax savings, and allowing him as the owner to keep all his tax savings, tells us all we need to know about the plan.
Being generous, I was able to come up with $0.10 he might save. You can't handwave another $0.13 with murky phrases and economic gobbledegook. Think about a shoe shine boy or a masseuse or a personal trainer or a barber, these services have hardly any cost structure to wring out of them besides labor which will not go down much.
You can't expect goods to magically go down in price if the cost of labor hasn't, and letting the employee keep his whole paycheck ensures that the cost of labor doesn't go down significantly.
