To: Your Nightmare

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?

First off, he was talking about the tax added on to the price, which would be the exclusive rate. Second, what if $0.16 of that $2.00 was state sales taxes? Are my federal sales taxes still 23% of my $2.00 purchase?
