As has been pointed out many times (and by many on these threads over the years) - it isn’t a “$100 purchase”. It’s more like a “$128 purchase”.

Not when the purchase is made with already taxed savings. LOL!

I think that point was already made. You have to earn $128, which is taxed at 28%, in order to have $100 to purchase a $100 item.

28% of $128 is $35.84.

I'm interested in my savings which have already been taxed by our current, evil system. These savings will now get hit for another 30% on my future purchases.
