1. Why do I need to know my state sales tax?Because if you think a sales tax makes you tax burden visible, you should be able to tell me how much you paid in state sales taxes last year. Can you?
Again you taking this discussion to an irrelevant point.
State & local sales tax 7.75 percent, pretty visible to me....what rate did you pay in income tax? corporate hidden taxes? payroll taxes?
You don't understand. I don't have a need to know my state sales tax. I only need control my purchases. The sales taxes are visible at the time of purchase.
If I wanted to, for some reason I have no idea now, if I wanted to track my purchases and sales taxes, I could very simply do so through my credit or bank card statements.
Again you are barking up the wrong tree. I think you now take it as some sort of personal contest rather than an intellectual discussion.
Let me see if I understand your flawed logic.
"The NRST or similar tax reform will not make taxes anymore visible."
Is that what you are trying to say? Well it is wrong. Please don't take that personal. If you are wrong, admit you are wrong.
If the above is what you trying to claim, then please consider that every purchase you make under a NRST would have a line that computes the taxes paid. So it's NOT invisible. You may not track it or save it, but it IS VISIBLE for those that want to see it.
That is not the case with the income tax which is hidden in the price of a product.
I guess you missed my questions....you said you knew how much you paid in payroll and income taxes, how about the percentage rate? and how much in hidden corporate taxes on your purchases and services?
