Anyone with a grade school education can see that $20,000 went to tax Lewis! That leaves $80,000 after tax! $20,000 is 25% of the after tax amount Lewis which is EXACTLY the same way YOU want to calculate the fairtax!

WOW! Really? That actually makes sense to you?...Of course it does, you're a Fairtax stooge

If $20,000 is a percentage of "the after tax amount, how much was the tax?

Before you continue to exhibit your total ignorance of math and the english language maybe you should think about where the $20,000 originally came from and then figure out what (obviously impossible for you) the meaning of "of" is when used in math/percentages.

I’ve mad it as clear as it is humanly possible to make it Lewis! The fact that YOU don’t “get it” surprises me not a whit!

On the one hand you have $20,000 un-accounted for, on the other you have $40,000 un-accounted for.

Ignorance is bliss in Fairtax land.

You earn $100k. You pay $20K...It's gone, get it?

How could the money ($20K) you don't have be a percentage of the money ($80K) you have left?...It can't/doesn't/never could/never will.
