I've read each of the FairTax books (including the recent one by Hugh Hewitt, which I doubt any of you even knew about). I've also read each of the studies I mentioned. And, yes, each of those studies is of the FairTax as written. Then do not contain exemptions, etc. If you took the time to read them yourselves, you would realize that Boortz has been lying for years about the FairTax.<br> <br> And, Joyce, there are not numerous studies supporting the FairTax. There is precisely one -- done by a completely unknown company called the Beacon Hill Institute -- which was paid for by AFFT, the group behind the FairTax. Among it's many problems is that it failed to account for any tax avoidance, tax evasion or shifts of consumption behavior away from taxable goods and services. In other words, it's a joke, but even it couldn't get the FairTax rate down to 23%.<br> <br> Boortz knows all this, but he is relying on the fact that his listeners (i.e., you guys) won't bother to check out his claims for yourselves.
