You seem to have missed the point that you and your colleagues have agreed that there will be a 9% price drop with the removal of the income tax.

Of course you are knowingly lying through your teeth as usual. You know that is before the 30% sales tax is added on. Why do you always have to misrepresent facts. Is the fairtax so flawed you can't be honest?

"Of course you are knowingly lying through your teeth as usual. You know that is before the 30% sales tax is added on. Why do you always have to misrepresent facts. "

"Of course"???? Why is that some sort of given??? And as has been repeatedly pointed out the rate is 23% ti. There is no "30%" since even calculating the te rate yields 29.87%. Rounding that up to 30% to talk about it was a mistake on the part of AFFT on their website as it gave full reign for anyone to indulge in demagoguery about the rate as we frequently see on these threads. So let's not throw around the term "honest" as though you somehow have the exclusive right to use it.

The rate is 23% ti as called out in the bill and any calculation from that would appear on the receipt which would be a 29.87% te amount except that the bill calls for the ti rate on the receipt. The amount that represents if calculated as te would end up being 29.87%, not 30%.

And what makes you think a guy as old as I am even HAS teeth???
