There’s a third, hidden, tax in that consumers are forced to pay higher prices because businesses factor in taxes into their pricing strategies.

Good observation. I can only add that ANY tax, hidden or direct,is ultimately going to transfer income away from consumers and toward the government. The better conservatives can explain this in their talking points,the more electable they will become.

Not really that is controlled by the market and this is only one part of the market. If it were this simple then Business would not holler about taxes like the do, they would just pass it on. They would not move out of high tax states they would just pass the taxes on.
