option a screws everyone that has accumulated any savings or is on a fixed income because their dollars will suddenly be worth 17% less in the new FairTax markets. So option a is a non-starter unless they are going to exchange those pre-FairTax dollars with new super dollars worth 17% more.
Option b is the only politically viable, non-inflationary model. And option b also offers larger advantages for domestic producers as compared with foreign producers.
