And as for the "correct" figure, 29.87% would be the normal statistical rounding to two places and NOT 30.00%. That's merely more dishonesty. Use 29.87% and I have no complaints; use 30% and it's obvious you're trying to fool people.LOL! Then I guess the AFT is trying to fool people [shock!].
Submission of Americans for Fair Taxation on the FairTax Comprehensive Tax Reform Proposal
to
The President's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform
April 29, 2005"Several independent researchers confirm the FairTax is revenue neutral at 23 percent (tax inclusive) or 30 percent (tax exclusive)."
They also use the 30 percent rate all through their website. Fool.
I doubt they're trying to fool anyone - that's your M. O. remember. Why would they try to fool them into thinking the tax rate is higher that it really is?
I imagine they just got tired of telling morons like you the correct rate - which is STILL 29.87% t-e. It's calculated from the 23% figure used in the bill.
More probably they figure (as does pittipat) that the number doesn't mean that much to most people. It does, however, to me. I prefer the correct figure but I klnow you guys can't even spell 29.87%.
