That's wrong. Everyone uses tax inclusive rates with our income tax system. The flat income tax uses tax inclusive rates too.
The flat income tax's 17% is tax inclusive (20.48% tax exclusive).
The flat income tax's employee 7.65% payroll tax is tax inclusive (8.28% tax exclusive).
The flat income tax's employer 7.65% payroll tax is tax inclusive (8.28% tax exclusive).
Our graduated income tax is tax inclusive. If you earn $100 and pay $25 in taxes, that is said to be 25% [25/100].
The FairTax proposal integrates such features as a progressive national retail sales tax, dollar-for-dollar revenue replacement, and a rebate to ensure that no American pays such federal taxes up to the poverty level.
Included in the FairTax plan is the repeal of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution.
The FairTax allows Americans to keep 100 percent of their paychecks (minus any state income taxes), ends corporate taxes and compliance costs hidden in the retail cost of goods and services, and fully funds the federal government while fulfilling the promise of Social Security and Medicare.
What is wrong is taking my quote out of context, but typical of your tactics. No one talks about sales tax in terms of a tax inclusive rate. Of course I expect nothing less than twisting and spinnng and squirming from you.
The flat income tax's employer 7.65% payroll tax is tax inclusive (8.28% tax exclusive).The employer portion of the payroll tax is 7.65% exclusive. The amount being taxed does not include (it excludes) the tax.
