costs (tax costs or any other costs) are all ultimately paid for from increased prices, lower wages, or lower returns to investors. i think it would help keep taxes and spending down if we knew how much of of the prices we pay are actually fed tax. i think it would help keep taxes and spending down if we knew how much our wages were reduced to pay fed tax costs. i think it would help keep taxes and spending down if we knew how much tax is being confiscated from our investment retirement earnings.
not many people know that prices are artificially high and wages and return are artificially low due to unseen taxes. i think that's one of the reasons people aren't too uptight about the tax they pay - b/c they don't even know how much tax they pay.
