The studies show that there will actually be MORE money going to Washington,....The studies and calculations have been done.
So you have a link to the study or studies "that shows there will actually be MORE money going to Washington"?

The most recent study I've seen, by the Fairtax economist Kotlikoff, says the 23% rate isn't quite enough...It also says there wouldn't be 100% paychecks...at least not in the Fairtax study.

And what was Kotlikoff's estimate?

What no smart alec and smug response to Post #92?

Figures given your schtick and arrogance that you wouldn’t respond.

Kotlikoff’s estimate was 23.82%! A difference of 0.82%!

Under Revenue ‘Neutrality’:

Yeah, an estimate with a difference of less than one percent is something you omit from your posting because you know it is insignificant, just as your postings on the FairTax are insignificant. And that estimate was for year 2007. Any chance government budgeted revenues were increased from 2005 to 2007? You didn’t bother to mention that did you?

Why can’t you be straight with facts? Why the constant obfuscation? You hate the FairTax so much you will pull out all stops to confuse people about it.

This is not the first time you have omitted factual details to create an illusion of negatism about the FairTax.
