We are discussing the NRST rate. We're discussing how much of the prices we pay today are "embedded" taxes.
The rate is related to the taxes law being replaced for the economic conditions in effect at the time of determination. 23% pre Bush tax cuts and pre-Bush economy. That is why one sticks with a consistent set of conditions by selecting 2000 as a base year, prior to the implementation of the Bush tax cuts and when the HR25 NRST rate was established.
