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.

And of course Dr. Jorgenson explained it so clearly he assumed the 'wages' would be their current take home pay. Your 22% embedded tax is 100% misrepresentation of the facts. You guys are nothing but lying sacks of cow manure to keep making that claim after the guy who did your research has clearly explain that your arguement is a lie. But I have come to expect no honesty from any of you guys. You are liars and snake oil salesmen. Sell the truth for once. You guys make me sick.

No - that's not at all what Jorgenson said. That's merely the distorted spin put on his description of his model and the assumptions he made to get it operating. He certainly made no such claim about actual wages.

Nor did he "clearly explain" anything about a 22% embedded tax or that such a claim was "a lie". In fact the embedded tax amount is likely to be someplace between 0 and 25% once things settle out and more complete information comes to the fore.

But your effort (and those of the other Squirrels) to say "it's all lies" are complete and utter nonsense.
