Thanks for the suggestion! This is a technical distinction that has to be at the very foundation of any discussion of tax reform.....or international trade. Until this obstacle to our prosperity is removed....we'll continue to struggle. Like true charlatans, Congress has diverted America's attention to wage differentials in developing nations......instead of dealing with the root problem.

When this obstacle is removed...the productivity of the American worker will shine like a beacon for the rest of the world to follow.

It may be that the SQL crowd and other "anti FairTax" types do not even begin to grasp the effects in foreign trade and US businesses involved therein that this will have.

Seems to me that this effect will be hugely beneficial to the country and its taxpayers also. I think, perhaps, that many of them are so shortsighted as to not care.
