Nope - when they raise the prices the taxes increase.

That's the other part of the conservaturd stupidity. Income taxes
are levied on PROFITS and cannot be "passed through".
Yes, and as such they are considered a cost of doing business and paid
by the consumer. Raise the tax rates, the business responds by
increasing prices to maintain their profit margin. More so, since now
they have to pay taxes on the revenue they will use for the taxes. Net
result is the cost of any taxation is passed along to the consumer,
and the company increases it's profits by doing so.
If they were actually paying the taxes you might have a glimmer of the >>truth (but not even the majority of the truth), but they are not paying >>taxes and not "maintaining their profit margin". You have zero >>understanding how stuff is priced - and zero understanding of economics.
This is pretty funny stuff.
He already told you that they compensate for higher taxes when they
raise prices.
YOU are paying their taxes FOR them.
