They are going to be stunned when those corporations they tax to get the “free” money start increasing prices.
Hmmm... anyone think shareholders are going to sit back and welcome decreased quarterly and annual earnings? Or do you think corporate executives will increase margins so as to not show the decline in their bottom line? Do good executives increase earnings or do they allow company revenue to shrink?
I know these are brain teaser questions, I assume some of these voters at least had a course in grade school economics.
If companies were smart...they'd be leaving these liberal areas.
These payments are not taxable?
“They are going to be stunned when those corporations they tax to get the “free” money start increasing prices.”
Yep - idiots. Here in Washington state the governor put the carbon tax on those that put off the most CO2 - gasoline producers and natural gas.
“Hey - how come we are paying 60 cents more at the pump and my heating bill is so much higher!!?? That tax was supposed to be on the oil companies!!!”
Same goes for the increased property taxes, and renters wonder why their rent goes up. “I voted for it because I don’t own any property - but then that greedy landlord raises my rent!”
Sadly, even Governor Jay (want’s to be President) Inslee that is pushing all of this climate change crap is still saying that it is the companies that is paying for it.
The debate is now whether he is that stupid or just lying. I go with “all of the above”.
