I can imagine each and every successful small or large business owner or operator reaching into their savings and bank accounts to pony up the additional taxes per year.

Oh, wait.

None of them will do that.

They will divide the new tax amount by the number of clients/sales, and add that much to each transaction.

So, who pays the tax?

That's right! You, the consumer does!

The legislature always looking for ways to use businesses to act like the tax collector for them, because they do not have the balls or ovaries to tax the consumer directly (the homeowner) because there are too many of them and they all vote!

Whereas, if they only promise to raise taxes on the businesses, the gullible will think, "ha ha, look at those guys, they deserve it, while we skate."

It is the same thought process and plan for minimum wage, living wage, and that most recent one, the employee/hired professional bs.

To liberals, passing costs on to consumers is an outrage and must be clamped down on...hard.
