Double taxation !?!? I suggest you take a product, say the computer you are using, and follow the taxes from the start of the manufacturing process to delivery into your hands and see the amount of taxes embedded into the price

If I'm paying taxes on the production of my computer and it's components I'm likely paying Chinese, not American taxes....How will that effect prices with a U.S. nst?

Mine was assembled here with a various parts made here. But then your Chinese-made computer had to be imported by an American company (taxes), Shipped to a distributer by truck and/or rail by an American company (taxes) Shipped by the distributer to retail outlets or to you direct by an American company (taxes), stocked and sold at the retail outlet by an American company (taxes).

And you wonder why companies go overseas to MANUFACTURE products ? TAXES !

If your computer was completely American-made, you have the raw materials being produced by numerous companies, fabricated into the essential parts by numerous companies, assembled, inspected, packaged and marketed buy the manufacturer. And who do you think pays those taxes ?
