"... business income tax is not a tax and isn't revenue that would have to be replaced by the FairTax ..."Sorry, Nightie - misstating what I have said won't cut it either, no matter how much you'd like it to. I've said nothing like your misshapen claim. Business income taxes ARE indeed taxes and will be covered by the FairTax. Price increases caused by the "hidden taxes" (which as I've repeatedly shown and stated are not taxes at all) are removed rather than being covered by the FairTax. That's why prices will go down with the removal of income taxes and your (so-called) "real world" example in #393 biased against the FairTax shows this very clearly - allowing for something like a 15% or more price decrease. I'm surprised your fellow Squirrels haven't nibbled you to pieces for showing this since they've always claimed prices won't drop.
Your above quote is utter nonsense and precisely the opposite of what I've said.

"You've completely missed the point that the 'hidden taxes' are not taxes at all, but artificially-increased prices caused solely by the business income tax and compliance costs."
"The 'hidden taxes' themselves (since they are not taxes but unproductive price increases) do not need to be replaced by a revenue neutral FairTax. Instead they are removed - POOF! Gone!!"
