I have no idea what that means.
As I've noticed,
BTW, the tax base isn't 100% of your income.
Neither is the taxbase of an NRST.
The following, however, is a table of effective total tax rates based on what is commonly perceived as spendable income, as measured by TaxFoundation:

Since depreciation is not available to pay taxes, GDP is an overstatement of spendable income for the purpose of measuring tax burdens. Depreciation is netted out of NNP. "Overall, NNP provides the best statistical representation of the common notion of “spendable” resources. In 2004 NNP was $10,371.6 billion. Like GDP and PI, NNP is a component of the National Income Product Accounts (NIPA).

I don't know what that has to do with exclusive tax rates on income so I guess you concede I'm right. It is not possible to calculate exclusive tax rates ON income.
However, from your link:
"However, an intermediate measure, net national product (NNP) is a superior mea-sure when calculating tax burdens. It best represents the “spendable” income earned by taxpayers (individuals and businesses). This is the income that is available to taxpay-ers for the payment of taxes.Funny, you, and apparently the Tax Foundation, call "spendable income" as money "available to taxpay-ers for the payment of taxes"
I call "spendable income" as money I can spend AFTER taxes....
