Believe it or not as you like, but you're paying for the taxes that your supplier sends to the Feds even though you make not cut a check to the government.

That income tax money has to come from someplace ... or perhaps you think it grows on trees???

But it's a lot less than the Fairtax, you said so yourself out of the otherside of your mouth.

Pigdog:

"The amount of taxes collected from the higher prices under the embedded taxes of the present system are actually quite small. I gave an example of a $100 purchase that ended up with (very generously) a $3.75 tax revenue amount which, under the FairTax, would have been $23.00

It's built into the products I buy. But you're assuming that my supplier will lower his price to me if he no longer pays income tax. I say he won't. I know he won't if he's competing for my business with a foreign supplier.
