Nonsense, Dimp-Dimp. It is the Squirrels who are doing the double counting. Your interpretation of what Jorgenson said (and what he meant) is merely that - your own interpretation.
And since we know most of you specialize in the Chicken Little method of misstatement any interpretation you have is certainly suspect. Most people would surely believe the assessments of an economist before your grab-bag style of mis-choosing numbers and facts so your claims of "4%" is complete nonsense with no semblance of "fair" at all. It is merely more of your grotesquely-loaded attacks on anything FairTax.
I don't even buy your analysis of what you think "Wallby does or does not do" in her examples since you are far too eager to have another name to attack (such as Boortz). Whipping boys seem to be a favorite of the SQL Squad.
When the dust finally settles I believe we'll find that under the FairTax not only will disposable personal income go up but that the economy will be greatly assisted by the new tax system. All of this tripe aboput what you think is or is not included in one figure or another pales in comparison to those benefits.
Still posting garbage after all these years pigdog. Your view has been totally discredited-- there is no Free Lunch with the FairTax-- just a bunch of misrepresentations designed to confuse people into supporting a cockamamie idea.
If the FairTax was sold like a new car, it would long ago have been returned as a "lemon". And the salesman would be facing fraud charges.
