And that would still be a lot more than you, Dimp-Dimp.

My example illustrates exactly what I claimed and whether you like it or not the mechanism is as stated. I've always told you the numbers were not the meaningful thing in the example but you've never been willing to accept that always instead pretending that I have somehow errer or lied or misled because I wouldn't play your "numbers" game. I've done none of that Dimp-Dimp. What's your excuse??

You seem to think the world is made of nothing but numbers and by claiming others have to use "your numbers" as you do or else be wrong, a liar, or both is preposterous nonsense.

OF COURSE you'd say the numbers aren't meaningful ...

... the numbers prove you wrong!

Not even your OWN example has one cent of "hidden tax cost" over and above the ACTUAL TAX PAID. Every time you're asked to show how much the "cascading" increases the price over and above the ACTUAL TAX PAID, you punt and run for the shower.

Profit at every level is NEW MONEY entering the pricing structure, never taxed before, and never taxed again. The input cost is NEVER multiplied by ANY amount to determine the tax, only the PROFIT determines the tax.

That's why, even in YOUR example, the amount of price attributable to tax effects is EXACTLY the amount of ACTUAL TAX PAID on ONLY the PROFITS earned throughout the chain. There's not a cent of "hidden tax", "artificially inflated price" or any other effect.

If there were, you'd have shown us how much it was by now.
