go poll a thousand people (heck, just do 10 people)

People naturally use both terms-- inclusive and exclusive. Thus they easily grasp the differences and similarities.

Ask any person what percentage of their income they paid in federal tax and they will give you the tax inclusive percentage. Ask a person how much of their income went to paying taxes under the FairTax and they will give you the tax inclusive percentage.

Ask any person how much tax they paid on the shirt they bought and they'll give you the tax exclusive percentage.

Ask any person how much a 23% sales tax on that shirt would be they will give you the amount using the 23% as an exclusive rate, not inclusive. That's where the deception comes in.
