It may even be that you'd get not only get the employee portion of withholding (the $1,000 figure) but possibly also the employer's portion ($1,080).
And it may even NOT be, but nice try at your incessant attempts at your deceptions. This is the first mention by a fairtaxer of the employer portion going to the employee, it in fact is contrary to anything you'd find at AFT about employer half of payroll taxes...

The employee portion of withholding was $250 not $1000 and the employer's portion was $80, not $1080...

The government would still need and extract the same $330.00 no matter what prices do or what wages do...

Given the $1,000 take home, that equates to a, not 23%, not 29.97%, not 33%, but a 49% sales tax rate in the first year after the 23% 30% teaser rate because SS bureaucrats would be obligated to 15.3% of the SS wage base including self-empoyment income... The fairtax is "revenue neutral", remember?

Sorry, Looey - no deception. There are those who believe the ER (employer's) portion of withholding would go to the employee and some who think not. That's what called a difference of opinion, not a deception.

Deception is what you do with your continued "misstatements of fact" and Looey 'rithmetic.
