[Your Nightmare]

Your patience is admirable! In fact it is BEYOND admirable but I must tell you that it has become quite obvious that you are wasting your time trying to explain something that is apparently two or three orders of magnitude over the heads of the dufi you are engaging here!

LOL! You see what piggy sees, too! That is just too funny.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that you both support the FairTax. I really think we need to take up a collection and buy y'all a microeconomics textbook for y'all to read and pass around. If y'all spent as much time educating yourselves on economics as y'all did trying to hoodwink others into supporting the FairTax, these discussions wouldn't even be happening.

pigdog's and now Bigun's secret/hidden tax that really isn't a tax at all but a mechanism to unnecessarily raise prices to consumers (conspiracy?) for no advantage that even thay can't describe or account for is really a phenomenon that only "special" people can see...They know it's there, YOU just can't see it.

Do as you wish but you really should save your money and buy some reading comprehension classes for yourself and a few others on this board!

I'll venture a guess that I am as well read on the subject as anyone on your side and EVERY microeconomics textbook I have ever seen says that ALL costs must be both accounted for and recovered if one wishes to stay in business for very long!
