"One employee or ten zillion employee's at 7.65% is still only 7.65%...Why is that so difficult for you to grasp?"
Why is the concept of a supply chain and taxes accumulating within it so difficult for you to grasp?
Give an example of "accumlating" payroll taxes within a supply chain....
Maybe you could do the one where you say prices are "well over 99% tax"...do that one.
Here's one:
$1 million in gross sales
Minus $500,000 gross labor = $38,250 employer paid payroll tax
$500,000 minus cost of goods (from the supply chain) sold $250,000
$150,000 overhead
$100,000 profit
35% tax on $100,000 = $35,000
$35,000 + $38,250 = $73,250
Percentage of possible price reduction = 7.325%
That's a long ways from 30% or even 20%
