You can claim whatever you like since it's a free country, but indeed you haven't been including compliance costs as you claim since 1923 (or whatever the year was) but I'll not bother to dig out the data to shopw you to be the liar you've already proven yourself to be.
Sorry Dimp-Dimp, but you get an F- also along with Nightie since the answer is not zero at all for hidden taxes ... the answer is you don't understand the example which clearly shows them. If you reflect upon #323 enough you may begin to realize that (then again, with your track record; probably not). We've been all through this nonsense of yours many times before on other threads and you STILL refuse to understand it. Instead, you merely make irrational statements about what you think the example shows according to your own bias aagainst the FairTax.
Good for you Dimp-Dimp. It helps others realize how paniced you are about the FairTax becoming law. It apparently destroys your nice little action with the present tax system and you're quite willing to warp and misstate anything to try to keep it. You've shown yourself to prefer the present system while trying to pretend otherwise (and you Squirrels generally do), so I'm sure most readers will recognize your bias no matter how you try to hide it.
Me - I'm a FairTax supporter and don't hide the fact since I know that such a tax system will greatly help this country and most of the taxpayers in it. You - you don't seem to care about the lack of benefits to the country OR its taxpayers by retaining the present system since you've not presented any viable alternative.
pigdog does not like to be called tinkerbell, so he cries to the moderators....LOL. For someone who uses derogatory names against everyone that is just too damn funny.
Oh we understand it perfectly. You think 98% of the cost of goods are profit. You think that less than 2% the cost of goods is labor and material. You think your example shows cascading, when all it shows is your fairytale belief that business make way to much profit and under the fairytax all businesses magically reduce their obscene profits. Your view really is not much different than Marx in your view that business rip off people.
- No clue about the examplesYou've NEVER been able to answer ANY question put to you (there must be 50 of them in this thread alone.) All you ever do is close your eyes, tap your heals together three times, and chant "The hidden taxes are there ... the hidden taxes are there ... the hidden taxes are there ..."
- No clue about the math
- No clue about how business works
- No clue about economics
- No clue about what I've said
- No clue about what even YOU'VE said
- No clue about how big those "cascading embedded hidden business income tax costs" might be (Hint: ZERO)
Unfortunately, unlike Dorothy who had a similarly fantastic experience in her dreams ...
... YOU never wake up.
