Perhaps you should read the bill before you shoot your snout off:
Yes, governments would be required to pay FairTax on wages and salaries.

What you post is old news and well-known ... but that's not what I'm referring to. States and localities pay the FairTax (which is more likely a 19% t-i rate IAE) on W&S of only a subset of W&S - not all which is what you had claimed, erroneously, originally.
So it is your snout that is in the wrong end of the horse.
BTW - why post the bit about purchases since that doesn't apply to W&S stuff at all. Perhaps you're trying to add impressive verbiage to your post - but that ain't it!!
