Here's one example: a loaf of bread that costs a dollar has 22 cents tax embedded in it.

I must have missed it. Where did you establish that 22% number and where was it compared to actually collections?

And if average prices only fall 3% due to embedded taxes, doesn't that mean that actual pay-at-the-register prices will rise by 25%? How would that impact sales? And the entire US economy?

You're so antagonist to not acknowledge that it's and example and not a factual percentage of embedded tax on a loaf of bread I won't waste my time on you. Why should I?

Yes.

Where did you establish that 22% number...

It is well established in the research. Links have been provided numerous times.

And if average prices only fall 3% due to embedded taxes,...

Yes, you missed it. Where did 3% come from - just made it up?
