Under the FairTax

You are obviously a Democrat.

Then Herman Cain must be too because he supports the FairTax.

I refer to your math.

wholesale = $50
compliance costs = - $23
FairTax = $23
sales and other taxes = $27

Unless they changed the rules of math by Congressionl decree that's
$123.

You can refer to my math, in return I will refer to your reading
comprehension. *Was there something about "- $23" (read minus $23)
that you didn't get? *I guess the example wasn't simple enough for
you.

Let's try it this way using YOUR figures above.

Originally

Wholesale - $50
Compliance costs - $23
Sales and other taxes - $27

Total product cost $100

Federal income tax revenue is a separate item.

* *****

Wholesale - %50
Compliance Costs - $23
Sales and other taxes - $27

Total product cost now - $50

Federal income tax revenue still a separate item.

* *****

Wholesale - $50
Add sales and other taxes -$27
Add Fair Tax - $23
Add money for loss of income tax revenue - $whatever

Oooops, it now comes to more than the original $100 since that revenue is
not a separate item anymore.


Oops, you are figuring it out incorrectly. Why are you removing sales
and other taxes? By those I am talking about state and local taxes.
So, let's try this again.

Current
- Wholesale: $50
- Add sales and other (local/city) taxes: $27
- Compliance costs: $23
- Total: $100

FairTax
- Wholesale: $50
- Add sales and other (local/city) taxes: $27
- FairTax: $23
- Total: $100

You can review my other posts to account for all the other benefits.
