Does any idiot in Washington or the states for that matter, realize that taxes get passed on to the customer?

Actually, I think that is a myth. It really isn’t possible to pass on costs, since raising prices results in a decrease in demand. Asw I understand it, businesses pass increased costs back to the origin of production. That is, they produce less, which makes our economy less efficient.
