Businesses and Hidden Taxes: Introduction

In this forth part of my series, I go into more detail about how and why the prices you are paying at the store are higher than the amount of this Hidden Taxes you don't know you are paying.


I share with you why I believe that Hidden Taxes making it harder for American businesses to compete in the Global Economy.  I also provide a suggestion by which business owners and managers can help make their customers more aware of how much they are paying in Hidden Taxes.

Using a someone detailed, but very readable financial model, I show how ending Hidden Taxes in favor of Transparent Taxes and lower the prices we pay in stores while still allowing government to collect the same amount in taxes that is currently being collected.
