What I actually said was very clearly delineated by certain observations and did nothing so broad as to say anything at all about any average taxpayer in general.

pigdog post 427:

Even at the present 23% ti rate, the average (middle CBO quintile; married, 2 kids) taxpayer who has an effective income tax rate of 12.5% ($6488 in income tax paid) will have an effective FairTax rate of 7.82% ($3,128 in FairTax paid). So, you see, the actual tax rate paid (the effective rate) is much, much lower that those repeatedly put forth by opponents.

And there's nothing in that post that generalizes - as you attempt to do - to make it a claim about any general average taxpayer. It's about a very specific "average" taxpayer and is also very correct.

You're welcome to show the verifiable numbers that show this is incorrect.

You're also welcome to derive your own FairTax effective tax rate and post it here so it can be verified that you understand what an effective tax rate actually is. There's a general guide in post #1052.
