[Your Nightmare]

Listen, I've been through this plenty of times and have shot every one of these "apples to apples" arguments out of the water. I'm not really in the mood to get into it again right now. Regardless, to say "the net effect on the poor would be the that they would be paying today's prices for a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread, plus a 23% sales tax" is just flat out wrong. Whether you believe the rate should be quoted in inclusive or exclusive terms or not. It would be the price plus the exclusive rate, 29.87%.

First off you have NEVER shot anything out of the water to my recollection and secondly why is it wrong to describe someones purchase of a $2.00 gallon of milk $1.54 for milk and $.46 Tax as a 23% tax when that is EXACTLY what it is?
