Sorry, but that doesn't wash. There's only one way that sales tax is calculated. Deviation from that method was done for a reason.

I see. Absolutely no discussion of the merits of my presentation, just a reassertion that your flawed premise is correct.

The problem lies in that you are getting stuck on the term "sales tax". The NRST is intended as a replacement for federal taxes, so instead of trying to express it like something it isn't (a state sales tax), you need to express it like something it is (a federal tax). You're trying to compare it to the wrong thing.

Discussion will go smoother when you learn the difference between a premise and a conclusion. Meanwhile, "hype" doesn't sink the FairTax proposal, but yes, you are correct: you won't convince me that their chosen method of expressing the tax wasn't picked for marketing purposes. I've told you why, and you've offered nothing to alter my conclusion. Repeating ad nauseam that income taxes are calculated inclusively won't help: I already replied that sales taxes are always calculated exclusively.
