And you do seem to have a reading problem since you haven't answered my question from #1136. Instead, you seem to think this is some sort of a game that allows you to make up far-fetched hypothetical examples, pretend they're real, and then take potshots at any FairTax supporter who might respond.
As opposed to unrealistic examples such as those you pose, I've offered to use your own real FairTax effective tax rate to see how you would benefit (or not) in comparison to the income tax - yet you keep ducking out. Why are you afraid of this since you obviously support the income tax??? If it's so great, let's see how it applies in your situation. Just respond to my original #917 (which, you'll note, uses the 9% hidden tax/embedded tax cost figure).
Terrific! I believe we're actually starting to make some progress.
Now, before we go on, if 9% is what you call the hidden tax cost or hidden taxes, what was that 3.75% number you were throwing around? Didn't you call THAT number the hidden tax?
