[Always Right]

Only a true-blue, full-blooded idiot would argue in defense of the present system - either that, or someone who has a big investment in maintenance of the status quo.

I am not defending the present system. I just insist that the proponents stop selling snakeoil. Prices will go up and I have to evaluate how that will impact the new housing businesses. Don't lie to me and tell me my prices are coming down when I can look at my expenses and know they are not. Trying to get fair taxers to admit the truth is like pulling teeth.

I am very sorry that your prices won't go down. I have bought a lot of houses, (7) all used. Never bought a new one.

Nonsense, Rongie - you most certainly ARE defending the Status Quo. Every chance you get you attack the FairTax and supporters even if you have to lie to do it (which you frequently do).

You have NEVER ONCE presented any sort of alternate tax system to contrast with the FairTax ... and I certainly don't think you're about to start - what is it - 6 or 8 years later.

You may kid yourself but you're not kidding many other people who've been on these threads a while.
