What an undistinguished list of academics. I know several of them. Paul Rubin at Emory is quite bright and is a good political economist, but not a taxation expert. In fact, many of these academics are NOT experts in the economic consequences of tax law changes.
What I read from this list is that the famous economists who work in taxation do not agree with this group on "fair taxation."
You obviously DON'T know them all. Wayne Angell? Undistinguished? LOL.
"What I read from this list is that the famous economists who work in taxation do not agree with this group on 'fair taxation.'"
The "famous economists who work in taxation" do not agree on much of anything in terms of a single plan that they all support. Therefore, if we follow their lead, the current system will continue to grow like a cancer, the trade deficit will continue to swell and Americans will grow progressively more frustrated each successive April 15.

Excellant post!
Of course the resident naysayers will appear and attempt to trash ALL if these learned scholars.
