I've been know to refute the falsehood more than once.

IMHO the only thing you have refuted thus far on this thread is the idea that at some point you might post something intelligent!

You didn't even read the article. Can't blame ya , really.

No I didn't because I read it many times when it origianlly appeared. Way before you ever arrived here. You have friends here: lewislynn, Always Right, Your Nightmare, balrogg666. You will see that your friends and you are in a drastic minority on this board and on a national scale as well. A FR poll showed that over 80% of us are in favor of a NRST. The Fair Tax Book stayed on the NYT best seller list AT THE TOP for three weeks. We're talking about a book about TAXES. So to quote your fellows: drink your kool aid, stand by your status quo, praise your K-street lawyers and PAC's and bow down and worship the hand that feeds you.

The Fair Tax spam I quoted wasn't very intelligent, was it? Thanks for the admission.

And apparently you still don't know how to spell her name.

Seems the FairTax isn't the only thing you lack knowledge about.

Well, no, "they" haven't. You Squirrels would merely like to think so, but t'ain't so.

That's funny, Looey - all 75 of the economists writing to the President and Congress endorsing the FairTax and urging that it be adopted definitely say that workers will get 100% of their wages.

Seems that Squirrels must really like koolaid, eh?

Actually it says, "Enable workers and retirees to receive 100% of their paychecks..."

Chances are he thinks it's a dessert. That's about his knowledge/education level judging from his posts to date.

More than a single sentence or two seem to be beyond his ken. He and Looey will make a great pear:-)

And you somehow read that to mean something less than 100% of their gross pay???

Really? Tell us more.

Stop trying to inject a Barbara Streisand musical into this discussion.

You're appealing to groanup for help, while unwittingly attacking him.

Too funny.

Please advise us all of what you think the "compliance cost" might be under the FairTax.

Inquiring minds want to know/

Should we hold our breath???

Do you always post the quote twice, wrapped around something else? Fine, if so. Just let us know.

This is such a great forum. Even newbies who call themselves deserts can post inane and completely unitelligible whatzits and still be welcome.

You guys sitting together? Don't hold hands, its bad decorum. BTW. The koolaid thing is getting a little old, even for you old guys. LOL.

Could've fooled me. Probably fooled a lot of lurkers.

You have friends here: lewislynn, Always Right, Your Nightmare, balrogg666. You will see that your friends and you are in a drastic minority on this board and on a national scale as well. A FR poll showed that over 80% of us are in favor of a NRST. The Fair Tax Book stayed on the NYT best seller list AT THE TOP for three weeks. We're talking about a book about TAXES. So to quote your fellows: drink your kool aid, stand by your status quo, praise your K-street lawyers and PAC's and bow down and worship the hand that feeds you.

So far everything is personal not one word about the Fairtax...Well except for that little bit about "the book" (their bible). I may as well join in too.

Maybe Kool-aid is old. Holding hands and singing Kumbaya might be more appropriate for you.

BTW, Mojave did you notice how the leftists get irate when you misspell one of their own's names...It's B-A-R-B-R-A...Damn it!

Even with withholding, a worker gets 100% of his paycheck. Why did you feel the need to alter the quote?

The spammers claim it would be nothing. Without evidence, of course.

They got even madder when they realized I was quoting them. Embarrassing.
