You clearly don;'t understand what most of the posters have been saying to you.

Certainly new goods and services SOLD TO INDIVIDUAL CONSUMERS AT RETAIL will be taxed. That has been consistently said.

It;'s also been consistently said that the tax was 23% t.i. or 29,87% t.e. (some merely say 30%). The difficulty of raising the tax rate is exactly as I explained it - and I did not say that there awere provisions in the bill but that this was a natural operation of the mechanism of a sales tax (as even Jefferson said). If anything, I expect that the ratee is more likely to decline fairly soon due to boosted economic activity. The opinion is held by many economists that the FairTax will cause a sizeable economic boom and that will help business and taxpayers over all.

I say the same thing as other FairTax supporters - that the tax will be 23%t.i/29.87%t.e. on taxable goods and services. Nowhere have I ever said otherwise, though if presently implememted the rate might actually start at 19-20 t.i. but the 23% figure is in the bill. Your claim I call them wrong is merely nonsense.

You're the one making repeated unsubstantiated claims and excuses. And your attempts at derision aren't particularly well-directed either.

First you say one thing, now another. Well, which is it? I'm sure you have no idea, but by posting contradictory posts, you can then claim that you were correct. LOL
