If the proponents were not intending to deceive -- which they are, the 23% figure is a fantasy at retail -- they would quote the honest tax rate and state the proposal in a manner consistent with everyday retail sales practice.

They should just say it's a 29.87% rate, because everyone will see the $100 price on the receipt and the $29.87 tax on the receipt. But they try to be cute.

Yes, they should. The fact that they do not speaks volumes, don't you think?
