“Darrell — every source is impeachable. Nobody in their right mind thinks 23% will replace all the revenue. With your arithmetic, you seem to start with something that costs $100 and after the tax, it costs less. That would truly be a marvelous tax.”

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I believe I am in my right mind, because with decreased taxation, in my lifetime, I have seen revenues to the Treasury go up. It is indeed a truly marvelous tax, for as I did, very simply, was use the language of science to demonstrate that not only would one pay less for an item under the Fair Tax, a myopic administration could actually raise the tax rate, and still the widget would sell for less.

Respectfully, sir
