Slims, I have googled the issue and it is very difficult to get a definite number on what percent of the cost of goods and services is there because of embedded or hidden taxes included in the consumer's final prices. The Fair Taxers come up with something like 40% and I have seen estimates as high as 90%. The more of your income you spend on goods and services the higher percentage of your income you pay to support our government. Those who make more than they spend only pay income taxes on the additional amount.
