Here's a somewhat more scholarly response to Bruce Bartlett's column which was not kind to the FairTax (are you guys getting sick of this yet?) Again, this is a linked file, not a web page.

I'll give this organization credit; they are extremely responsive to requests for information and seem very well organized. I've yet to really stump them on any aspect of this plan, and I've tried many times, often with critiques I've heard on this blog. There's still some cheerleader in this response, but it seems pretty solid. I hope Bartlett responds. I'd like to see more public debate on this topic.
