No, let's leave any prebate out of it.
I'm sure you'd like to do that to prove your warped point, but the prebate is just as much of the FairTax as is the 23% tax inclusive rate. Each individual has the option of NOT receiving the prebate but folks like that will not be typical at all. The prebate is considered just as is your income tax refund.
As I told you, the seller needn't know your effective rate - but if you have any sense you will so you can see how what the consumption is actually costing you - in the case you dreamed up, a reduction from $100 to $85.56.
Naturally that doesn't fit your FairTax attack, but it happens to be true.
Excellent. I'm glad you've cleared up your confusion.

Now you'll have to explain why my doctor would reduce the $100 he currently charges, just because the FairTax became law. Thanks.
If you could take less than the 100+ posts it took to get an answer on the last question, that'd be great.
