3) revenue projections rely on unsubstantiated ideological (overly optimistic) economic assumptions that they cant support.

1)No, this is more progressive speak to generate class warfare for between those who pay the majority of all the Federal Income Tax and those who pay nothing. It is called a Fair Tax because it spreads the pain evenly.
2)We need to remove all of those deductions for everyone while we reform the tax system.
3)Seems like quite sound economic assumptions to me!

it is unfortunate that you are apparently unwilling to take to heart the comments of Jill, BigV and others (not just me) in recent posts on your "debating" style.

IMO, discussions here would be much more informative if you were to do so but I guess we will play the cards we're dealt and do the best we can to have honest discussions despite the obstacles of having requirements demanded of others that you refuse to accept for yourself.

I don't give a shit what you think about me or my "debating style".
