"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.

That has been your assertion. For instance, the Price Waterhouse study commisioned by the Retailers association. You claimed that although the FairTax will increase profits for retailers, they commissioned a study and gave the instruction to trash the FairTax.

You still haven't explained why they would do something that would prevent them from increasing their profits.
