More than merely amazing. The Americans for Tax Reform traced the taxes
imbedded in the cost of various goods. One was a Ford Taurus automobile,
priced
at $23,000. They found the car could have been sold, at the same profit,
for
$12,700 with the imbedded taxes removed. The buyer of that car, who might
be
under the illusion all taxation has been successfully pushed off on "the
rich"
pays and astounding $10,700 plus interest when he purchases that car.

Surprise!

No surprise.

But just how to you plan on getting the government to release itself from
the public teet? Our two significant parties don't seem differentiable from
one another when it comes to spending money, they only argue about where.

You can shift around who pays the biggest tax burden, you can shift around
programs, but the only way to fix things is to reduce how much is spent and
this is an enormously difficult problem to tackle.
