Mr twist it. I'm the one soliciting an answer remember? I haven't heard one and it's going on a couple of days now. Anyone reading these threads can see that you are twisting in the wind here. No problem. I have made my point. Your predictions of inflation (YOUR predictions of 15,25,30% not mine) are groundless speculation designed to appeal to ignorant minds that are easily frightened. I don't think you'll find a lot of that on these boards.

Since you have repeatedly avoided my inquiry and have blatantly tried to muddy the water with irrelevant rhetoric in trying to infer that I have avoided your question, I'll restate my question to you for, what, the fourth or fifth time. Here goes. (can't wait to see what you come up with this time.):

You have stated on various threads that the FairTax will create instant inflation of upwards of 30% across the board in this country. Since such an event would be catastrophic my question is this: We have examined the work of many economists on these threads and no where is this addressed as a major catastrophic event. Why would the major economists omit such a dire event from the outcome?

Sorry all, I put it in bold because I wasn't getting anywhere in plain old Times New Roman. If anyone needs any further clarification of the question please let me hear from you. It seems very simple indeed but Rob can't seem to understand it so maybe I need to rephrase it.

Why would you think I would have any idea why any economist has done anything at all to consider any aspect of the FairTax plan? It is a stupid question. Maybe because they haven't been paid to analyze it, maybe because they've never heard of it, maybe because it has such a small amount of support that it isn't worth their time?

I'm amused that you would think that your question is even considered to be a real question.
