An item that costs $100 pretax under the fairtax ends up being $130 with the fairtax.

And you derive this from?

Applying a 23% sales tax to an item that cost $100 ads $23 to the item, not $30.

Utterly amazing how many FairTax critics change the plan in order to make and justify their arguments......

If I show you I am correct, would you agree that it is extremely misleading on the fairtax folks part to say their rate is 23%?
