Show us how you arrive at 1.45% effective tax rate.

You bet, right after you show me that the doctor must reduce his fee after the Fairtax.

I’ve never said he MUST reduce prices - that’s up to him and his competition so I certainly can’t answer your question. But there’s price competition in the medical field just as in other fields even though it’s masked by the government entitlements and third party payments.

None of that, however, affects the calculation of your effective tax rate ... so show us how you arrived at 1.45% under the present tax system. I’d feel truly enlightened to find out.
