The FairTax OTOH has many such studies all coming in at a revenue neutral rate of around 23% (and even that may be higher than necessary).

Studies paid for by the FairTax organization. BTW, have those studies been released yet or are we still relying on the FairTaxers to accurately quote from the studies?

Yep, you expect government to pay for such or special interests intent on keeping the current system in place or supporting some other favorite version of taxreform?

Nah I rather doubt they are particularly interested in supporting actual studies that will always run against their own interests.

LOL That would be rather silly of them wouldn't it?

Most are more interested in policy papers about adhoc systems that are constructed for strawman arguments.

Of course for counter policy papers of pretend retail sales tax systems not actually introduced to Congress you can go several thinktanks and organizations that bitterly oppose retail sales tax systems and see what they have to say about the tax systems they construct for use as redherrings.

BTW, have those studies been released yet or are we still relying on the FairTaxers to accurately quote from the studies?

Actually they have been released long ago. They have also been linked to and provided on FR many times over the years for those actually interested in looking at the reports.

If you want access to any such report, merely contact AFFT and ask for a copy or contact the cited authors for such as many of your buddies have done, and as anyone can just by exercising the effort.

"Studies paid for by the FairTax organization."

Is it your position, then, that the government does not "pay for" studies such as the President's tax Panel ... and don't they do so with tax funds???

Perhaps you're attempting to say that something paid for is somehow invalid in content because of that???

Then again, perhaps you have no real point at all.
