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.

Then explain this quote.

Neal Boortz: "We write in The FairTax Book that the competitive pressures of the marketplace will force prices down when embedded taxes disappear from the cost of retail goods and services, and we cite 22% as the average amount of those embedded taxes. Does this 22% include the income and payroll taxes that are paid by employees? Yes, it does."

I going to get my boots on, as you are going to be shoveling the manure really high trying to explain that.
