You're VERY right!!!
Neither you nor anyone else has ever been able to show that and here have been many studies by recognized economists that show just the opposite.
More of your horse-puckey!!
As you know Rightie, the prebate is a reefund of tax paid not "welgfare" in any respect. No more so that your April 15 tax refund from the IRS.
Why post such nonsense? Are you eager to be observed as a fool or a fraud???
As has been shown repeatedly to you the amount paid in the form of embedded tax is mush, much smaller that the amount under the FairTax.
The requirements for the prebate are a valid SSN and a lawful residency - neither of which most illegals would have.
Several people have pointed out to you that the prebate is nothing like welfare, so why keep repeating that refrain???
There are people that will lose out financially under the FairTax, just as there are losers under any radical tax change.
There are many, many people that benefit from the existing system. Their benefit pales in comparison to what it costs everybody else, however. In money and liberty.
So if you define "rational" opposition as something that has first considered the overall good of Americans, then I've not seen any that qualified as "rational" either.
Right tinker. Keep snorting your pixie dust. I provide sourced material and all you can say is 'untrue' to dispute it. You are so full of it, it is not even worth reading any of your other anal replies.
If we could only depend on the honesty of all business including corporations to pass along this reduction I would have more faith in the Fair Tax. I just have little faith that many business will pass the reduction along. Guess we have to give it a try.
Don't you guys ever get tired of spamming this board with your crap?
You hit the nail on the head. I knew something was wrong and I just didn't see it. This needs lots more thought.
It has nothing to do with 'honesty' of businesses. It has to do with the tax savings going mostly to the individuals, thus the businesses don't have the savings to pass on to individuals.
Sorry, but there was no such assumption by any FairTax researcher as to what would occur as a result of the FairTax. Your so-called "sourced" material was merely a series of attacks launched by you and other anti-FairTax members of the SQL Squads.
The only assumptions the researcher made were for the purposes of his modelling software - not the real world. Nor did he ever make such a prediction as some of you are also wrongly stating.
Your comments are still horse-puckey.
"It has nothing to do with 'honesty' of businesses."
... he said, speaking for his own business & its practices ...
It was sourced in Money Magazine and confirmed in e-mail sent to a freeper by the fairtax researcher.
The only assumptions the researcher made were for the purposes of his modelling software
Gee, I thought you said no such assumptions were made. You can't keep your story straight. I can't blame you, you are so full of it, it would be tough to.
- not the real world. Nor did he ever make such a prediction as some of you are also wrongly stating.
Umm, no you were the one who had no clue what the difference was between a prediction and an assumption. I said assumption and you kept calling it a prediction. But we needn't go into history of the foolish posts you make. There is only so much bandwidth.
Your comments are still horse-puckey.
Of which you offer no refute. Of course you can't, because it is a well-established fact. Shoot, Boortz has admitted it. Most of your fairtax buddies have admitted it. You are the last one stuck on stupid.
It appeared in a magazine article by an anti-FairTax writer and was bvery probably taken from the nonsense you SQL Squad members kept hammering away on in FR. That's hardly a "source".
The economist himself made no such statement and has frequently said that the FairTax is preferable since it boosts the economy to a greater extent. He made no assumptions that wages would be reduced in the real world as a result of the FairTax but only as a mechanism used in his model software so my statement was quite correct. Your claims he found that wages would fall are the claims in error - but that's par for the course with you it seems.
Nor has Boortz "admitted" any such thing. You merely can't comprehend what he has said. But, hey, misstating things is your stock in trade. Along with shovelling out horse-puckey ...
It was a mostly favorable article to the fairtax. You are truly deranged.
"... mostly favorable ..."????
Yeah, right!!! Certainly one of us is "deranged" - however it's you. The article was nothing but a hitpiece.
OK, then where is the AFFT rebuttal to this article???? AFFT always refutes negative articles which are published about it. AFFT could have easily contacted Jorgenson in the last 6-7 months and cleared all this up. AFFT won't refute it because there is no refuting it. Boortz has admitted it is misrepresentated. 90% of FreeRepublic fairtaxes have admitted it. Dr. Jorgenson has admitted it. It has been exposed in a major magazine article. It has been exposed as a lie on freerepublic for many years prior to this. But AFFT remains silent on this issue. I would give you $500 if you can get AFFT to clear this up with Jorgenson. I know they won't, because they are lying bastards who have been caught in a lie and it would ruin a major part of their propaganda if they had to be honest on this point.
