The authored lied about nothing. The author was merely pointing out the gross misrepresentation that the fairtax orgnization and Boortz were saying. The author did not concluded wages would go down, merely pointed out that was the assumption used in the fairtax model by the expert who did all their research.
Once again - not true. The "author" is an economist Jorgenson who made Assumptions about wages going down to simplify his model. That's ONE economist.
There are 75 others who say that, indeed wage-earners get all their wages ... 100% ... and they did so in their letter to the President and Congress endorsing the FairTax and urging that it be adopted.
Your spin stinks.
"all their research"???
That's hilarious. There have been many, many economists study and research the FairTax. And yet you guys sieze upon a single one. In fact, the FairTax is the most thoroughly investigated and researched tax bill ever put before congress.
It has been studied by far more than a single researcher (nor did he do "all their research" - that's nutso boffo, pal).
