.08% = a total tax of $80 on an income of $100k. While that’s a lovely idea, it won’t pay for our military, much less anything else.

It’s obvious he meant 8%, he actually stated that in his next sentence.
If you multiply a number by 0.08, you get 8% (8 parts of one hundred).
Pedantry is unbecoming.

$100,000.00 * 0.08 = $8,000.00

I think the extra % sign was a typo.

Bryan24 should have left the percent sign out of his formula. He meant 8%. Which I believe is too low. Prolly more like 20%.
Merry Christmas

DOh! Was thinking 8 cents on the dollar. Should have been 8 %.
100K gross = $8,000 tax bill.

I think he meant 8%, so it’d be $8,000 on a $100k income.
