Who is it you are quoting in this post of "pressing Boortz abd Linder" and who is it you are making the claim that said:

"What The FairTax Book fails to mention is that prices can only fall this sharply if companies cut wages. I asked Jorgenson about this, and he agreed. Say your salary is $100,000 a year today, but you take home $80,000 after taxes."???

And who said "... concedes that the book is confusing about this ..." and even more explicitly, confusing about what? And who said it. These vague indefinite quotes of yours are rather strange - particular when all jumbled together. Let's get specifics.

And who made the quote starting "Part of the problem is the way Boortz and Linder are using ..."?

Are we talking here about Robbie and his (multiple) vanity posts??? Daniel Shaviro??? Always Rong??? Santa Claus???

Let's clarify the sources prior to splashing it all over as though it meant something.

Pat Regnier, Money magazine, Oct 2005 Issue:

"What The FairTax Book fails to mention is that prices can only fall this sharply if companies cut wages. I asked Jorgenson about this, and he agreed."

 

"It is practically and logically impossible for the government be collecting the same amount of money as before and have everyone suddenly be better off," says Daniel Shaviro, a tax law professor at New York University.

No, but Robbie probably spurred the article. Money Magazine confirmed everything Robbie said.
