Blah, blah, blah... I answer your questions. You avoid mine.

You have a revenue neutral shift from a income tax to a consumption tax. If you put more money in people's paychecks as well as giving them a prebate, how can you not take that money back from them in a sales tax and still remain revenue neutral?

If people have more money, effectively inflating their income, and that additional money is paid at the point of sale. Does not the effective price they pay for goods increase and each dollar buy less?

If you understand how the Fair Tax works, and I'm wrong, you should be able to explain it to me.

Well, think for yourself. I have very little patience with people that think they know something and will tell others they know it all.

You mean like your comments in relation to my first post on this thread? For example:

Simply put, your wandering to a discussion of the dollar is irrelevant.

and

Your other remarks are shallow and lack depth of understanding.

However, I responded rather politely, explaining that I was talking about price inflation rather than monetary inflation and gave more details about how it occurred and how it could lead to monetary inflation.

Another person also jumped in, agreed with me, and provided some supporting information.

You came back with more condensation and asked a couple questions that showed you don't know what the heck you are talking about and are just parroting things other people have said without understanding them.

Yes, at that point, I did start mocking you.

Now in this thread you still don't answer my questions, and the reason you give is to take one of my sentences out of context and that I'm not worth dealing with because I misrepresented what you said, but not how or why.

Well if I misrepresented what you said, it was because what you said wasn't very clear, or because the numbers you used didn't mean what you think they meant. However, if I'm wrong. Explain how and why I'm wrong?

You seem to be really good at telling other people they are stupid, but can take it yourself, and can't back up what you are saying either.

Yes I do avoid your questions or comments or blurbs. They are devoid of intelligence.

Have a nice day!
