Wild assertions based on gross conceptual errors.

Health insurance like all other products and services has federal embedded taxes in its cost and price structure. The FairTax is merely replacing these embedded taxes, so don’t insinuate that the FairTax is an additional tax, it is a repackaged federal tax in transparent form.

The rest of your calculations carry forward this error.

I guess "wild assertions" in FairTax speak is data-based evidence.

Currently employers get to deduct health insurance costs, under the FairTax they would pay 30% tax on them. How is this not an additional tax on the employer? Sure they may save in other areas but you have add up all the pluses and minuses.

It's is a typical FairTax trick to say "Look at these savings!!" while ignore additional costs of the FairTax. They love the shell game...
