Yesterday I tried out some FairMath, I went to buy a new set of tires for my car, they were marked 20% off and it said EACH. I only needed four but that would only be an 80% discount, so I think I'll get a fifth tire as a spare that adds to 100% off, and that way the whole set'll be free. I couldn't get the guy to understand. How can I explain it to him, the tire guy said he never heard of Jorgenson. (since when did Harvard professors become a trusted source of scientific simulations anyway?)

LOL! TOO Funny! But the Fairtax spelling for tire is "tyre"....

Did you ask the tire shop if that included any "tax costs" he might be saving...You might have been able to get another 23% per tire...then he'd have to pay you to take them....

That's not FairMath - that's Looey-rithmetic. It's quite a different thing and completely dvorced from reality - as is your example.

Fraid Looey has done you in. Next thing we know you'll be calling mathematics and not arithmetic.
