Guess you didn't really read the paper after all ...
I read it. Maybe instead of just making baseless claims, you would like to explain how the Flat Tax (or the current system, for that matter) taxes government output.

I don't understand why you don't get that costs experienced go into the cost of the good or service sold.

Labor costs are one of those costs. An $80,000 annual salary costs the producer 80k plus fica. Even though the worker only sees 60k, the full 80k plus fica is a cost that must be covered and hence is in prices.

Help me understand what you don't agree with here.
