How is that different from today? You are actually taxed at a higher rate? How you might ask??? Well you are probably taxxed around 25% or more on your pay check. Compound that with the State, city, local, and sales tax. Just because you cannot see it does not mean its not there. BTW, your not even factoring in the embedded taxes.

Define 'embedded taxes'. Are these only corporate taxes? Do they include individual income taxes? This is an area where much fudging occurs. Taxes paid by businesses are only a fraction of total revenues. Most taxes paid directly by individuals.

Gas and oil prices are something we all can follow, ie., price /barrel, gas futures.
How are we going to keep track as to whether a mfgr. has lowered their price for an item when we have no idea of the savings?
Believe me, any savings will not be passed on to the consumer. Maybe a small portion to keep the 'masses' quiet.
