What taxes placed on it prior to sale

During the manufacturing, transportation, storage and distribution of a product before it hits a shelf all those stops are taxed in one way or another

It would eliminate all those taxes along the way

And all of those magically add up to 23% for everything? Come on. You’re not that gullible, are you?

And why ignore that in the real-world example of airline tickets, the price did not drop when the tax was removed? Why ignore the other cases where that’s true?

Because it’s convenient, I guess.
