This is the analysis I've being trying to find from these folks

You've been asking about diesel fuel. First of all, you'd better worry about the base price more than the tax. Secondly, the FairTax will only bring the price of diesel fuel down about 9-15%. Third, if you want to store a year's worth of fuel fine. Buy one year's worth at historically high prices, genius, and pay the cost to store it. LOL!

Finally, am estimate. Is this estimate inclusive or exclusive?

Why isn't it 23%?

Hey a month or so ago you thought you were a wealth creator by leaching off the real producers.

What say you now? Wealth destroyer?

Someone is getting lessons on who really creates (and controls) wealth...It ain't you.

Cool. If that reduction (15%) is the exclusive price, I get an average 20% (tax free) return for one year’s worth of fuel. How’s the gov’t feel about not getting a revenue neutral intake for the first year?

"Buy one year's worth at historically high prices, genius"

And here I thought oil is running at <$90/bbl rather than the record $100. When is the FT going into effect? Tomorrow, Yesterday?, When oil was at $100? (genius)? LOL.

Interesting. Maybe he already has a tank but what will the price of diesel be one year from now exactly?

30% return at .09.

Well, the first year should work out fine.
