Wrong. The cost to the buyer *should* be about the same. The difference is WHEN the taxes are being taken.

That $275,000 Ferrari is $275,000 of already taxed money. Take the GROSS income of that $275,000- the amount that that 275k used to be before taxes were taken out, and it should be around $357k. The AMOUNT of tax isn't whats in question here. WHEN the taxes are applied is what were debating.
