It's not "exposing" tham that affects prices, but removing them by eliminating the income tax which causes them to cascade and embed
Has simple logic always been a problem for you? Do the words "revenue neutral" mean anything to you.

The income tax you claim is embedded in cascading and any other tax idiocy you conjure up wouldn't just vaporize in a "revenue neutral" tax plan....unless of course (other than in only your mind) those "embedded, cascading taxes" never existed in the first place.

You're merely exposing your own ignorance once again, Looey.

The taxes embedded (hidden) in the prices of things by the cascading mechanism I've continually illustrated are not part of the revenue neutral concept at all, but are part of the inflated prices paid by consumers IN ADDITION TO THE "NORMAL" INCOME TAXES THEY PAY.

That's why many call them hidden taxes, Looey. They cannot be easily seen and are not normally recognized as tax revenue - since they are not part of the normal tax revenue from the consumer. The revenue neutral terminology comes from revenue raised by the normal income taxes (not the hidden taxes which just boost prices). Inflation (generally purposely implemented and boosted by the Fed) is also a hidden tax as well - but I suppose you don't believe that either.

The embedded tax costs discussed WILL be eliminated by removing the income tax and prices will drop because of that. You're welcome to keep on paying the same old prices though if it makes you happy.
