Yea, and the Gov. of MD wants the Feds to pay for the new high-integrity State drivers licenses. He says it is unfair for people to have to bear the burden of the increased cost of the license. Where does he think Federal money comes from...foreigners? This falls into the same category as business tax. Right now in America it is 35%. Who do you think pays those business taxes...not the businesses...they pass them along to the consumer.
Those politicians want to fix up the roads and bridges, but guess what. Once that money is coming in, it will be diverted to all their pet projects and lots of give-away programs to buy votes. We'll still be left with a rotting transportation infrastructure.
Next time you hear a politician talk about taxing businesses, liquor, tobacco, and other sinful things they conjure up, just remember, the consumer pays ALL taxes...either directly, or indirectly. Next time you hear a politician talk about bringing in the lotto or slots, remember who plays the lotto the most. What amazes me, is when a Democrat says it...those pass-through taxes are regressive and hit the poor the hardest.
