>Also not all of sales tax really falls on me. Some % falls on the provider of the goods in the form of lower prices. It depends on the price elasticity of the product in question. Taking this into account would only further complicate the question.

That's true for all taxes, but not a reason to arbitrarily clip (only) one out and tell someone he's wrong for including it.

Ya, that's a reasonable point. If there were no income taxes, my employer could probably hire me for a lower salary.

Tax incidence is fun!
