...the majority of taxes can be in both wages and prices

If the majority of taxes is in prices, then more than 50% of taxes are in prices. If more than 50% of taxes are in prices, then less than 50% is anywhere else and less than 50% is not a majority. Hence it is not the case that a majority of taxes is in two places.

Did you mistype?

Uh, no. You just seem incapable of understanding. If 75% of taxes are in wages and wages are in prices, then 75% of taxes are in prices as well as wages. Get it?
