Ahem... where do gross sales come from?... that would be prices.

Yes but the price isn't determined by the "embedded tax" rather the embedded tax is paid FROM the price. If you don't believe that, you've never seen anything on sale at a reduced price.

You might want to get that incessant clearing of your throat checked too.

Tax is only one of the costs used in the determination of price. If you don't believe that, you've never been thru high school.
