I see takehome wages going up noticeably AND pre-tax prices going down at the same time as I have said many times. I couldn't care less what you like to interpret a particular economist as thinking.The real wage is not open to interpretation. It is what it is.
You are the guy who was in error by over 400% and would never admit it, remember??? So your analysis oif what you think was meant doesn't cut any ice at all.I was not in error. And how can you say it was 400% when you refuse to give a number yourself.
Thanks but I prefer not to visit your house (and would have no reason to crawl IAE) since it is far too full of misstatement, out of context quoting, and just outright untruths (such as your old chestnut about the WA state tax nonsense which isn't even applicable to the FairTax - and that's been pointed out to you before).
You're apparently one of those who - when asked what he earns - quotes his takehome pay, thinking that's your wage and in fact that's probably more truthful that stating what it costs your employer to hire you since that includes the additional amount the employer pays you for taxes but whiah you don't get to disburse for living expenses or investments (it's gonzo to Uncle Sugar to partially help support our illegal aliens). You never have control of the amount above your takehome pay so it is hardly "yours" but merely the premium you cost your employer.
Your interpreatation of the economists palaver isn't at all convincing, but nice try. Your 400% error is still a 400% error and the numbers it was based upon were given when the error was pointed out ... and they came not from me but from the source who first alerted us to your "misinterpretations" on the matter. You were off by over 400%.
Tough you don't like it! You even made Looey (our previous error percentage record holder) jealous.
