Now come on guys. When you figure a job, you expense each item. Adding 3 percent for your tax burden wouldn't be that hard to figure in. When you get a final bid expense figured, don't you add a percentage for profit. Imagine if every competitor played by the same rules.
But every competitor wouldn't play by the same rules. The big players would vertically integrate, avoiding all the intermediary taxes, putting all the little guys out of business.
Your plan would result in more mega corporations, not fewer.
