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.
who may not realize how high their income tax brackets are when calculated as tax exclusive
An income tax can't be calculated "tax exclusive".
Income taxes are a percentage of your income not a percentage on your income...
Your ignorance is shining bright.

Sorry, looey, but your "23% of the gross product" IS an out of context snippet as people reading the bill will discover.
Paying attention has never been your strong point...Who (besides you) said anything about "gross product"?...
Not only is that "out of context" it's a flat out lie. You even put your lie in quotes...or did you just "misspeak"...TWICE?. It's so transparent that you have to be dishonest, it is all you've got.
`(b) Rate-`(1) FOR 2007- In the calendar year 2007, the rate of tax is 23 percent of the gross payments for the taxable property or service.
This would be the part where you say "gross payment" doesn't mean "gross payment"....
