As for the prior post of yours (#526) the answer is obvious enough. The consumer benefits by the lowered prices that your toady Nightie demonstrated do exist in #393. That reduces the business revenue by a corresponding amount except for the fact that the FairTax will improve the economic conditions enough for businesses that most will have the opportunity to increase their revenues over those they prevoiously had (without taking that revenue in the form of non-productively increased prices).
If you didn't have such a locked-in anti-FairTax agenda you wouldn't even have bothered to ask such a question, but thanks for letting me explain it to you. Others will learn from your ignorance of the subject I'm sure.
... lowered prices that ... Nightie demonstrated do exist in #393 ...The ONLY thing demonstrated in #393 is that ACTUAL TAXES paid by businesses TO THE GOVERNMENT (part of the 927.7 Billion the AFT used to calculate revenue neutrality) are about 4.76% of prices in the example.
There are NO HIDDEN TAXES anywhere in the example. NONE! Every penny in the example can be traced to the original input cost, added value cost, profit, or ACTUAL TAX paid. There is not a penny of "artificial inflation."
If the answers to my questions are so obvious, why won't you answer them???
WHERE IS THE HIDDEN TAX???? (it's apparently so well hidden that it cannot be found!)
