I'll repeat it again, in another way, since no one seems to be listening:
If the rate were 99%, that rate still wouldn't be an honest argument against the revenue neutral FairTax, since all the NRST would be doing is making visible what is already being taken now under the mostly hidden Stupid Tax.
To argue against the FairTax on the basis of the level of its intitial revenue neutral rate is in fact to argue for the status quo...a status quo of hidden, utterly inefficient and invasive taxation.
Hey, post that to pigdog and ancient_geezer, they're the ones beating it to death -- while we stand around and watch. LOL!
Agreed!
