You've said you don't understand it so I see no need at all to educate you. You may have to continue on in your blissful ignorance.

If I decide to, I'll be sure to let you know. I'd rather stay on the main intent of the thread - trying to educate peoplr about the FarTax.
I'm beginning to think your hesitance is because there is no "cascading costs" and is, therefore, impossible to illustrate. Is that it?

In realty 'cascading costs' = 'cascading profits'. They assume that each business adds a percentage profit on to their business taxes at each phase. Of course business taxes are only a small portion of the total tax bite, so they grossly overstate the impact of this alledged effect. The bottom line is, these are fudge numbers their economist use to create a benefit (lowering prices) while hiding any negative impact (ie, reduced profits). Their economists have unique methods of creating benefits out of thin air. The truth is their numbers don't add up.

It's good you're beginning to think (if you are) - and you're certainly welcome to think what you like.

Since you don't understand it and can't conceive of it, don't worry about it since as someone once "what you don't know won't hurt you".
