would be that the taxes they pay will be explicitly broken out and identified.
You don't have a problem with a more transparent tax system, do you, Willie?

Actually, the NRST shills even blatantly lie about that as well.
This is evident in their preference for "tax included" pricing, which enables them to claim a "low" sales tax rate of 23%. But if the tax was calculated in the normal fashion that people are accustomed to (purchase price + tax), the sales tax rate would have to be expressed at the higher 30% rate.

No, the NRST hypocrits even lie about transparency,
they bury the tax in the price to claim a lower rate.

=======

everyone i know calculates their federal tax burden with an inclusive rate.... if you pay 25k in taxes and you earned 100K, i don't know anyone except you that would say that's a 33% rate. It's a 25% rate to everyone i know.
