That 22% number is meaningless. It's just an estimate of the part of the price of goods that the current tax code is causing. It's not tax revenue or anything like that. It is eliminated as a result of eliminating other taxes. Tax revenue matching has nothing to do with that number. Tax revenue matching involves taking the current tax revenue and figuring out what % you need to tack on to the current sales volume in order to reach it.
The whole point of comparing the 22% is because there was an earlier complaint about how the FairTax would suddenly make everything rise in prices, yet people weren't taking into account the fact that with the costs of adhering to the current tax code suddenly greatly reduced, that would contribute to keeping the prices down.
