Best way to make this software cost more is to have contractors do it, who pay more to employees, find every way they can to charge overtime, and have to make a profit to boot. That also adds to the cost. Gov't workers don't have to produce a profit, just the software.

If you scroll down sufficiently, you'll find where it says that removal of the income taxes would cause _American_ manufactured goods to fall by 11.55% at retail. That would be a significant advantage both at home and in international markets. Its just one advantage of untaxing corporations.
