You have to subtract all the other taxes that are no longer there to get a true figure.

I am 100% aware of what taxes are eliminated and how much money will be saved. Thanks anyways. It does not add up.

Does our current income tax system add up? What's the easiest way for politicians to raise taxes? Via withholding which no one sees or via a sales tax increase that can be seen in your cash register receipt? I like the FairTax if for no other reason that it ends the deceptive ways politicians have of increasing the taxes we owe to the government.

That's because your calculator is flawed, Rightie.
