“More importantly, however, is that you ignore a number of adverse economic trends which MUST be addressed:”

“And of your list the FT addresses exactly one, and of them it is by far the least significant.”

That is incorrect; the FairTax addresses each and every one of them.

“Hell, I’d even support the Fair Tax if they’d just fix the glaring errors.

The current version is, however, too broken.”

I find it interesting that someone who doesn’t understand how the FairTax impacts the various adverse economic trends that this country faces and doesn’t understand how getting rid of imbedded taxes in the production chain leads to greater visibility refers to the “glaring errors” in the current proposal and refers to it as “too broken”.

No it doesn't. The FT is "revenue neutral" and funds each of those problems/issues just as they are today.

And I find it interesting that FTers lie through their teeth with such regularity.

The FT does nothing to address any of your issues besides compliance costs and even there it's not a complete solution.

The FT is no more transparent than current tax/budget methods.

The public now knows that Obama is proposing 1.8 trillion dollars in deficit for 2010. What have they done about that?

Nada.
