Ok, here's the thing...Dr. Jorgenson can say any dang thing he wants to. That does not make it so. Why in the world would employers need to cut pay down to my current net pay levels. Where do they lose money by keeping my gross pay the same. They no longer have to pay the matching tax...they are no longer paying all the ridiculous taxes just like the rest of us...WHY?? You guys keep saying it as if God had spoken. Explain it if you expect anyone other than the Fair Tax haters to believe it.

Dear Originalist,

I don't put any particular stock in Dr. Jorgenson. I'm not a proponent of the NSRT. However, he's the guy who developed the model to support the idea of the NSRT, and thus, figuring out precisely what he said clarifies the discussion. That's all.

That being said, I CAN understand his reasons for developing the model in the way that he did, passing the saved taxes to consumers, in that this model seems intuitively to me to create more overall economic advantage, than returning the saved taxes to the employee.

However, I truly doubt whether the model can be implemented as he has designed it.

Dr. Jorgenson's research is what many of the fair taxers predictions are based on. In fact, the research is paid for and owned by AFFT, a fair tax advocate. The point of the post is that the fair taxers have lied about what Dr. Jorgenson's report actually said by the tune of $1.3 Trillion.
