So it is a 30% tax added to $77. Thank you.

Yes and no. To compare apples to apples, the FairTax needs to be stated in inclusive terms because the income tax rates are inclusive.

If you want to go with an exclusive comparrison, fine, also calculate the income tax and FICA on an exclusive basis and provide those rates as well.

If the FairTax were to be enacted, then the apples to apples argument would be moot.
