It looks like you missed this quote from Kotlikoff in regards to the assumption that consumer prices would not rise.
"Private consumers would receive lower (gross) wages under the FairTax, because producer prices fall."

LOL! I said it before and I'll say it again. It won't be long before Kotlikoff has Jorgenson status in the Fairtax world.

I have no intention of going round and round the mulberry bush with you over this sort of thing but I would note that he is silent as to NET wages which is all that anyone gives a DAMN about anyway and, as has been pr oven hundreds of times, the VAST majority will see increased purchasing power with their net wages under the FairTax!
