Be self-employed for a year then you will know the answer.

I'm self-employed for over 20 yrs and here's your answer:

I'd have to raise the price of my services 30% to cover the tax...Why would I lower my service price knowing I have yet to pay tax on any money I choose to, or even have to spend?

If I lower my service price equal to what my income taxes were, what happens when I pay the new federal tax on what I spend?...I lose.

I'll reduce my income when you agree to reduce yours.
