All I care about is my "gross" pay. Will that remain unchanged? If the answer is "yes", I'm happy.

The answer no. The analysis which says price will fall 20% assumed your gross pay would be reduced, but your net pay would stay the same.

So why should any current wage earner embrace this scam?

Suddenly he is not only paying the same income and payroll taxes as before, but he has a sparkling new and HUGE onerous consumption tax. Even on the sale of homes!

D'OH!
