If anyone want to know why there's no real debate about tax reform on FR, just check out this thread. If you don't agree with the FairTaxers, your motives are immediately brought into question. Nice way to debate, huh?

The good thing about the debate is that the nrst is the most thoroughly investigated alternative - each and every point is debated in complete detail.
Problems have been identified and some changes have been made.
That's a good thing. And as debate continues, the level of knowledge of any lurkers continues.

-- the most "anti-tax reform" people I've seen on FR are the FairTaxers.
They have refused to let any serious reform be discussed and have dogmatically promoted their FairTax plan which is an absolute nonstarter in Washington.
They consume so much of the debate and are so vehement in their support that they ensure no real tax reform can be accomplished.

Your Nightmare writes again, in defense of his own words quoted just above:

I submit that your initial post above tells the tale about debating 'motives'..
