When they expire, it could pump in about $72 billion a year toward balancing the budget, according to the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.

The tax increase will stay on their side of the water bucket, right?

Generally speaking, the cost of doing business will go up by 72 billion and the cost will be passed on to all. It's called free market capitalism and you can't target any component of it without effecting all components.

One of the greatest failings of Marxist political and economic philosophy (and IMHO, there are FAR more than just one) is it's basis in dialectical materialism, a part of which is breaking down everything into it's tiniest parts, and examining them. It leads one (falsely) into believing that things occur in a vacuum, that when you apply a force to one part of a system, it has no effect on other parts of the system. Sort of "not being able to see the forest for the trees."
