I take it then that you were opposed to the list of WINNERS that I foresee under the 'FairTax'? Which Winners did I have wrong?? There were quite a few comments which were un-answered by 'FairTax' proponents such as the Indian reservation issue, the casino issue, the Roth IRA issue, the government paying itself issue, the underground economy issue, the 16th Amendment problem, the investment real estate loophole under the 'FairTax', the employee benefit issue, keeping the 'FairTax' pure issue, the prebate as being equivalent to the despised Earned Income Tax Credit, among others. The smuggling problem was dismissed, though a 30% rate almost guarantees it.
Besides, there were no 450 refutations. There were 450 replies to that article. That is a BIG difference.
... and I did not say there were 450 refutations - merely that the points were well-refuted by the 450 following posts... and indeed they were.
It seems you did not read the balance of the thread involved nor many of the other threads where these points have been discussed. Many of them are covered within the same thread. And certainly I do not agree with your lists of "winners" and "losers" (though that was not the way you originally referred to those in your lists.
I see no reason to keep repeating answers to you that you obviously do not read or, perhaps, do not understand. I can find plenty of other ways to waste my time.
