"TM, Your NRST IS CLASS WARFARE!! As I have written and shown, it is DESIGNED to benefit the wealthy investors, and wealthy investors ESPECIALLY. It is DESIGNED to debilitate the resources of middle income people, and to emasculate the resources and ANY chance of economic advancement for BOTH groups."

George, do you have a clue as to how the FairTax proposal was developed? FYI, it was developed using an approach similar to one that a Fortune 500 company would use to develop a new product, i. e. market research was done to determine what the American people wanted, in terms of broad principles, in their tax system and that info was fed back to leading economists to make the numbers work. The market research was in the form of phone polling, targeted advertising, counting website hits and focus groups. The focus groups were comprised of young and old, democrat and republican, all races, religions, etc. Those funding the research went into it with no preconceived notions as to the best alternative to the current abominable system and, in fact, were NOT disposed toward a sales tax as a replacement. The design of the plan fell out of the research.

Would you like to retract your statement now?

PW, No thanks. The numbers on the bite to differing income groups tells the story. Known out take versus possible reductions. These people would make good used car salespersons. Thanks anyway. Peace and love, George.
