That wasn't from the corporate income tax, that was from all taxes. Jorgenson's model allowed for nominal wages to drop.

He should start the trend now by reducing his wages by 25% to see if his idiocy works.

Following the Fairtax logic, the competition it would create would force all economists wages down at least 25% as well..

You think it'll work?
