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

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

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

Really? Tell us more.
