It's piggy and the ancient one who are arguing that it is 29.87% and not 30%.
Actually I figure the final rate will be much closer to 19% tax inclusive or 23.46% tax exclusive, based on federal tax cuts implemented since the original rate was calculated for the 1999 intoduction of the bill.
Why not use 19% or 23% tax exclusive as may actually come out of Congress in meeting the presidents revenue neutral policy, looks like a better number for discussion purposes than either of the above to me.
Maybe we should argue for a 10% rate. Most of the SQLs would scream like stuck pigs at the lost revenue to their beloved status quo.
