Boortz just said that in the paperback book they take away the parts about the "Cash Fairy" giving everyone more money, he says that they clarify this to mean that the government will get what they get now, people will get about the same as they make now take-home, and prices will be about the same.
The new edition of the book will get rid of the "keep 100% of your present paycheck" promise. Take-home pay will stay about the same. He admits it even though he still tries to spin it. He says that if you make $10 now, $7 aftertax you will get at least $7 under the FairTax.
What sayeth ye, FairTax supporters-- Boortz says there is no Free Lunch anymore.
When will they dump the "23% inclusive" dodge?
You seem to be one of the few that is overly concerned with what Boortz does (or does not) say. I've read on these threads many times from many posters that the FairTax would not affect gross wages, but that prices would decline giving people more funds so that even with the FairTax there would be more disposable personal income for most people.
That means basically Robbie that even with the FairTax they net out more bux. You SQL Squadron members seem unable to believe that insisting that prices will rise and people will have less money because (aaccording to you) have to take a salaaary cot. Tain't so.
I could care less how Boortz expresses it, but you have been the one insisting that FairTax supporters have claimed there was a "Free Lunch" and no supporter I know has ever claimed that.
You'ere merely a adding prevarication to misinformation.
