Jorgenson assumed no such thing nor is he the source of a "misrepresentation". He assumed wages would fall to simplify things for the purposes of his economic modeling software ... and he clearly pointed that out.

The fact that some assumed that he meant that would happen in real life doesn't alter the fact that he made no such prediction. We've been over that ground many times.

Please link us to the point in any of Jorgenson's work where he says something is "a load of crapola".

Funny, for 5 years fairtaxers told everyone they would keep their whole paychecks without telling people prices only stay the same if they take a paycut. It was never clearly pointed out until recently, and this is about the first time you personally have admitted to it.

???? What twisted words you speak. Dr. Jorgenson simply assumed it for his model. It made his modelling easier because he would not have to deal with all inflation and that made the fairtax more attractive and his analysis cleaner.

We've been over that ground many times.

We have and you are slowly making progress. You seem to now realize the difference between an assumption and prediction, but by your twisted sentence I am still not sure.
