You have no idea how much tax is part of producing. marketing and selling a gallon of milk. But many studies over many many years show the taxes on consumer goods are more than 50%.
You do realize that the federal government took in over 4 1/2 times more individual income taxes than corporate income taxes last year, don't you?

And your Cato link is talking about total federal tax burden (state, local, federal, income, property, sales, etc.) not the "hidden" corporate taxes in prices.

Again you did not answer the question. You are changing the point of discussion. This shows you can't backup your claim.

Ok, enough of you now. You are not adding anything. You have been reduced to spinning.

It was not my intention to back you into a corner. It was my intention to help your understanding and I failed because you are unwilling to acknowledge your error.

I have people here on FR correct me or inform me on several occasions on several topics. That's a benefit of this discussion board. It's a learning tool.

And where do you think individuals get the money to pay those taxes ? From their gross pay. And where do they get their gross pay ? Hmmmm..... let me think about that for awhile.

And are you are aware that you are not the only one paying taxes on your paycheck ? Your employer (I can tell you have never been an employer) matches your social security tax deducted from your check. Your employer pays unemployment taxes for you also.
