BTW looey (your 4th screenname I think but maybe I've missed some) can you gives us the tax exclusive income tax bracket rates since you think that that way of presenting things is grand?
No I can't "gives" it to you, it isn't possible to have an exclusive tax rate on income. Who is "us"?
the VAT was being discusses and that initial part of the post was to illustrate what just a single private citizen in the UK thought about it.
"the VAT was being discusses?" What the hell does that even mean?
In other words your post IS irrelevant to the discussion.
You might as well drop that "of the gross payment" business as you've been repeatedly shown that is wrong,That's a lie repeated many times (which still doesn't make it true) but you can be the first one to prove me wrong.
Had you read the FairTax bill with any understanding instead of just the intention of making out-of-context quotes, you might know that.
Actually if you'd ever read the bill you'd know that "23% of the gross payment" isn't out of context...it's a direct quote...If you have read the bill then you're just lying...No surprise there.
Looey, luv ... don't try to ape the style of another poster; it just doesn't fit your personna.
You can't gives us the t.e. rates?? Do you need a calculator? That has never stopped you before. The "us" are all of the people reading the thread who may not realize how high their income tax brackets are when calculated as tax exclusive - so they can be compared on the same basis quth your tax-exckusive FairTax number. As you know (but refuse to admit) that is why the FairTax uses the tax inclusive figure normally (though they actually use both 23% and 29.87% which some - ahem - always round off to the high side as 30% to make it seem higher).
The "being discusses" means I ain't got no larnin'. Et tu??
At the point in the thread of #97, the subject was the VAT and both the individual's post from the UK and the links were illustrating points about that. I would have thought you would have deciphered that OK, but guess not.
Anyone who's "seen" you on these threads since '98 or '99 (I forget just when you started) and has been through all of your screenname changes KNOWS that you'll never admit ANYTHING positive about the FairTax. Never have, never will, but you DO like to take little snippets out of context to try mnaking them seem like something they are not (the gross product thing) and your almost-lovable malformed arithmetic. Do you remember the time you were 400% in error on a calculation that YOU defined???
Probably not - the Good Lord shields certain minds from that sort of thing. Sorry, looey, but your "23% of the gross product" IS an out of context snippet as people reading the bill will discover.
