They don't just evaporate into the ether!

But that's exactly what you and pigdog theorize...The exact words are "POOF! GONE!!"

The "hidden taxes" themselves (since they are not taxes but unproductive price increases) do not need to be replaced by a revenue neutral FairTax. Instead they are removed - POOF! Gone!!

Someone is in ether.

The "hidden taxes" themselves (since they are not taxes but unproductive price increases)

It just does not sink into fairtaxers that these 'unproductive price increases' are business profits. And what fairtaxers just seem to assume is that businesses will happily take cuts in their profits so everyone else can have more money. It's all part of the fairy magic that goes into their 'analysis'.

Lewis if the income tax system imposes costs, other than the taxes themselves, and the income tax system is removed those costs are removed as well.

I'm sorry that you cannot grasp that fact but it is, never-the-less, a fact.

"Instead they are removed - POOF! Gone!! "

Absolutely - those were the words used ... and correctly so since it is only after the removal of the income tax that those costs disappear into thin air (or - more accurately - into the taxpayer's pocket).
