They're not saying that anymore. Indeed they flee that argument.
Now they talk about definite and indefinite articles or baskets of goods.
Phunnee, ain't it???
As in "that's my story and I'm sticking to it" (until a better story comes along). Typical. By now the arguments by the SQL's are beyond jokes and are becoming increasingly banal. I'm telling you guys, these people have an agenda. They profit off of the money that is stolen from our labor.
What a change. For the last few years, the anti-nrst crowd has been screaming about how the nrst will ruin us all with exorbitantly high prices.It would ruin us all with exorbitantly high prices and no one except you is fleeing the argument...Actually you aren't fleeing it as much as you deny and ignore it whenever it comes up. Your entire increased purchasing power is bogus and based on skewed if not false premises...IOW, it only works in your mind.They're not saying that anymore. Indeed they flee that argument.
The truth is, government, all government, would cost more, A LOT more. A 30% increase on wages salaries and benefits of government employee's alone and prices of anything imported would be 30% higher on day one as well .
There won't be across the board price reductions like you fantasize about because everything we buy isn't produced here...most is imported, or produced offshore, or produced with imported components.
If you think imports are insignificant then you aren't paying attention to what's happenning with new proposed transportation corridors and ports for moving imported goods across the country. Including new ports in Mexico to handle the ever increasing shipments coming IN not out.
You also ignore and deny that the law demands an increase in SS entitlements to cover the new tax which would also raise the rate...You know like your idiotic (GAG!) prebate entitlement would do.
Your claim that a mortgage or car payment isn't taxable is also bogus. No matter if you bought the item before or after a Fairtax scam was passed the mortgage rate and the rate on a car payment (or a payment on any interest bearing account)...especially a loan on a used car would have rates higher than the fed fund rate and the difference in the rates IS, by law, TAXABLE.
Speaking of fleeing an argument. What happened to "pick your number"? Remember? I seem to remember yours was 5 one day and maybe 6 the next day but in any case you tried to compound your 5 or 6 to 23 by multiplying it at as many stages as it took to prove your point...untill you were exposed as an idiot. So now you're using an average of Robfromga's numbers he's used all along and there's no more mention of your idiotic compounding
Principled:it cannnot be that a 5% (for example) reduction in price per stage results in a 5% reduction at retail. I simply cannot fathom anyone grown saying something so stupid.
...so who's fleeng what again?
