Ok I found another economists view on this. I will post the link (as I cannot edit the PDF to grab the graph), and yes it is from FairTax.org but they are referencing independent data.

Let's just say that when I tell you I "question" the impartiality of this expert I am going for understatement.

In that graph, EVERYONE pays way, way less in taxes than before. Do you even comprehend how this cannot possibly be revenue-neutral?

It's obvious at this point that you have not even attempted to read the FactCheck article. Please do so. Please attempt to refute their criticisms.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
