I never argued that such a tax scheme would not have lower compliance costs. That is not my worry but the unintended conswquences of imposing a 30% tax given that there is a psychology of the consumer to deal with.

Where did the '30%' percent come from? You anti-fairtax people have been saying Fairtax would be '23%' percent.

Because it will be seen as a 30% addition obviously. "Well Joe that will be a dollar plus thirty cents." NO one will see this in its Inclusive form. Another reason it will never happen.
