So a product that could be sold at retail or wholesale (eg. a hard drive, tires, etc.) doesn't have the embedded taxes?

How did what I say even remotely suggest that?

OK, I see what you were saying. So I'll rephrase my question. A retail product that doesn't have a long production chain (eg. lumber) has less embedded taxes?

(And this is all irrelevant to the fact that you are misrepresenting what Jorgenson (erroneously) stated in his paper.)
