I agree! It's one of the MAIN reasons for getting rid of the current system where so much of what you pay is HIDDEN!
Don't you think the result of having the cost of government detailed on the reciept for every purchase of a new good or service made in America will be to put downward preasure on those costs? I sure do!
Yes it would, also it seems the only way to even things out as far as foreign made items vs domestic made items, domestic items cost more because income taxes for Americans are extremely high while Chinese products can be much cheaper because those workers don't need as much money.
