[Your Nightmare]

See post 261. Quit trying to confuse the people that are taking an honest look...

First, 25% + 7% = 33% is honest? Second, adding an inclusive rate to an exclusive rate most certainly isn't honest.

Your side has a long history of trying to confuse people about the realities of the FairTax so I wouldn't throw stones.

Let's drop the rhetoric... it's a mistake, and should only be called "dishonest" if the person repeatedly presents it as correct after having been definitively shown the error.

If you want to add tax-exclusive rates... a 25% tax-inclusive rate is a 33% tax-exclusive rate. Since you can simply add tax-exclusive rates together to get the total rate, that comes to a total of 40% tax-exclusive, or 28.57% ( .4 / 1.4 * 100% ) tax-inclusive.
