I agree. You should be
charged $290,000.00 for your
house instead of $281,000.00. In fact, I'll take the extra $9,000 you paid
just so you can buy things at the
prices you apparently want..
What? You want that rule to
apply only for low priced items? What counts as a low price? Let's get a
committee together and have them come up with a pricing
scheme that's at least half as impressive as the
tax code.
Of course, this will
simplify advertising and
teaching kids
money values. We could simplify all prices to
$x.yEz, which could then be simplified to
$xyz.
Then we could use the
resistor color code to specify prices.
Manufacturers could spend
millions making their box complement the colors on the price tag (which would result in price fixing - no store would put brown on
our box)! Our
money could be replaced with paper that has 3 stripes of color on it!
