The 14.91% was not calculated keeping the total dollar consumption expenditure constant. Total dollar consumption expenditure was increased by the amount of the tax.
Current prices are expected to fall by approximately the level of the NRST (20-25%) on implementation. In terms of current consumption dollars, the NRST is inclusive. The calculation retains the constant dollar level of consumption.
You are flat out wrong and can't admit it. Again.
You are just full of aimless assertions aren't you.

The calculation retains the constant dollar level of consumption.Well that's irrelevant, isn't it? You got the 14.91% from legislation thinking you could just subtract the FICA withholdings, but now you know you can't. The 14.91% does not retain the constant dollar level of consumption. That's just not true.
You are just full of aimless assertions aren't you.It's not aimless, you know the 14.91% is wrong. You can't show me that it is right. You got caught in the confusion of the tax inclusive sales tax mess and you can't admit it.
