"c)." Show us a 10-year window of all of he flat tax-only countries that have thrived as you claim. Yeah - right!! Border adjustability in the US would drop exporters prices substantially and put us on a more equal footing with the VAT countries which have such adjustability.
Show us a one year window of NRST-only countries that have thrived.

Those are just one year rates, Nightie. I specifically asked for a 10 year window (which you're fond of pointing out that tax scoring is done by). You seem unable to provide that.

As you know there is no country that has a tax system that even begins to approach the FairTax either in how it operates or in the economic benefits it offers. Not even you Most people cannot present one year results on something that has not been in operation for one year, but one year after the FairTax becomes law there will certainly be a very good such record - apparent to all.
