Are you giving up the ghost on the idea that all taxes are in prices?
Not at all for all income/payroll taxes paid by a company must ultimately reflect in prices of its products or it must fold for lack of profitablity.
But neither is my criteria for supporting the NRST and HR25, contingent upon interactions in the market place with respect to individual circumstance, as in the end all taxes are passed onto the individual.
To remove perception of the tax burdens of the individual, is to remove the goad which assures accountability of government to the electorate. Federal tax rates are high and government grows ever larger because a majority of the electorate do not perceive, proportionately, the burden their demand for largesse imposes on the minority of citizens.
The siren call for representation without taxation is the formula that got us where we are at today. The ability to hide or disguise taxation from the view of large sectors of the electorate allows the Congress to get away with the creation of the evergrowing monster that it fosters.
Liberty and freedom have a price, responsibility. If that price is avoided or not perceived there are no brakes on the growth of government, the ultimate result is the end of freedom through creeping socialism.
