That is why you find I reference Kotlikoff's 2000 Ways and Means committee testimony that can be found on the internet,That is not what you referenced in post #46 WHICH IS THE ONE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!
It would appear you are making reference to a paper you claim is not available to all to check the context of his simulations or price change information.
I went to the source.
Where, give us a link to it so we can all look at it.
I would say the main BS around here is coming from you, but I will reserve judgement on that one, as regards Kotlikoff's works, until I manage to aquire a copy of his study for perusal to see for myself what his simulation conditions actually are for his NRST rates, and assumptions and implementations of business costing effects with regard to pricing to the consumer.
Call your buddies at the AFT.
You mean you got
"Kotlikoff's "Replacing the U.S. Federal Tax System with a Retail Sales Tax - Macroeconomic and Distributional Impacts - Report to Americans for Fair Taxation" (which the AFT has chosen not to publish).
From AFT? You have indicated they don't want anyone to see it? So how do you come by a copy from them if they are not providing papers to anyone who asks?
That is not what you referenced in post #46 WHICH IS THE ONE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!
My reference was wrong, looking at a different distributional analysis that Kotlikoff was marginally associated with.
The one I am speaking of is the same as you are referencing,
"Replacing the U.S. Federal Tax System with a Retail Sales Tax - Macroeconomic and Distributional Impacts - Report to Americans for Fair Taxation"
that you pretend AFT is hiding and doesn't give out, yet you certainly managed to get a copy of it easily enough. Just trying to confirm that you received it from AFT as obviously anyone who asks for it should be able to do.
