All of them. You are the one making the argument. Start citing legit sources. You can start at the beginning.

Sorry, not going to play that game, I give my basic reasoning for every single number, and there is tons of backup and debate on every single number on the liked threads plus the dozens of other threads on the subject.

If you want to question a specific number and start at the beginning if you want, I will address your questions one at a time.

The basic idea is that there cannot be a FREE LUNCH, so there cannot be an immediate rise in purchasing power. Since workers pay is expected to go up, this means that of course prices will also go up. But not everyone is a worker. And that plus the fact that goverment needs to pay the 29.87% tax on every non-education related expenditure means that they haven’t calculated the required income correctly. The parity level of government tax income will need to be in excess of 20% higher than right now to stay even.

And the idea to put every man, woman and child on the Federal dole through the prebate will just foster an increase in the already too-high level of dependency on government handouts. You do recognize that the elected Representatives will still be able to monkey with the prebate to achieve their social engineering, and to buy votes from unproductive citizens at the expense of the productive, don’t you?

Or do you think the FairTax will remove the politics from politics?
