In fact, that's why the rate is used in the bill as tax inclusive.

That's an idiotic statement: in replacing an income tax with a sales tax, people will appreciate the magnitude of the resulting sales tax much more readily if it's calculated in the same fashion as all other sales taxes.

Nope - the rate in the bill is continually compared to the income tax rate. That's what the discussion of the two tax plans is all about - a comparison of the two.

Usintg t.e. rates is for a different purpose and my post was discussing the comparison between the 2 systems so I'd thank you to not try to misstate/misconstrue what I said.

The bill requires a receipt that shows the price of the thing without tax and another line that shows the tax amount on the thing taxed. There is no trickery involved as you attempt to suggest.

So you're telling us that you reject tax reform because the leading option is marketed improperly (in your view). Ahem. Is there any other reason you'd be willing to share?
