He he pretty good! Boortz the dufus doesn't need to be out front in tax reform IMO.

But your numbers are wacky. A drop from 7 to 14 is
-a drop of 7
-a 50% drop inclusive
-a 100% drop exclusive

note that all three methods of expressing the drop describe an equivalent drop....

I'm using the rarely seen but equivalent "reciprocal inclusive" calculation.

Yeah, Rob's math is pretty messed up...which destroys his whole article as he's claiming Boortz is wrong about the book's meteroric rise. So can I believe Rob if his math is so wrong?

Just in case anyone missed your math, when a FairTaxer is talking about a 50% FairTax (inclusive), that is actually a 100% sales tax as most people think of sales taxes (eg. double the shelf price to get the final price)

Since the tax is only 50% of the final price, it is a 50% FairTax-- got it?
