I had those objections after I read the book, the one you have not read yet, before I saw any articles that ran contrary to the FT meme.
And I will be magnanimous and give in on the "socialist" bit even though it was wrong, there is still the main statement by your peer that FDT did not have a vast majority of support on FR, which indeed he actually did, including the support of it's founder...
But again, details...
And I still find FR to be a forum of solid discourse on a wide variety of topics.
I can dance this dance all day but I can save you some trouble, I have read the defenses of the "Fair tax" on this very forum, indeed it was at the insistence of one of your more lucid peers that I gave the book, the one you have not read yet, a second read. I have yet to see my objections addressed outside the same tired circular rhetoric and propaganda, I highly doubt you would be any different.
You are not good at telling the truth. Your ‘objections’ were not entirely based on ‘reading the book’. They were based on falsehoods such as ‘vast new bureaucracies’ and ‘black markets’. I am certain that ‘the book’ did not propose ‘vast new bureacracies’ because I would expect ‘the book’ to conform to the legislation H.R. 25 and no where in the legislation is there any idea of ‘vast new bureacracies’. So your comment about not drinking the koolaid is simply running away from reality. No you do not live in the real world.
Yes your objections were based on things you picked up outside ‘the book’.
Do you really think people are so dumb they cannot see through you and your plethora of flaws and hyperbole? Because your comments certainly show you put yourself above others even though you do not have the reasoning, wisdom and character to base it on. “Brain Rot”, “Cheap SOBs”, “Cheap Bastards”, “Fairy Tax”, etc. This is your litany of drivel.
You are a very angry person.
