I didn't question your intelligence, I questioned your understanding of the proposal. I did not suggest that you aren't intelligent to comprehend it, just that you had not invested the time to do so. I have found in my life that almost every time I make a judgement without gathering the necessary information, I have erred.
I'm certainly no economist, but I think that I have demonstrated a grasp of that subject that is at least the equal of those on here who staunchly defend the status quo.
Fortunately, the FairTax was developed by a group of professional economists whose grasp of the field far exceeds mine.
