He is unaware of competition. We are robots who will pay whatever.
Says the man living in a country full of socialism. What do you know about competition? Your government takes at least half of what you earn.
Any reasonably intelligent person who works in business--in the U.S.--understands what happens when government increases the cost of doing business. By and large, they don't shrink their profit margins. They simply increase the price of goods and services, reduce salaries and bonuses (or decrease salary increases), layoff employees, etc.
One example is our state general excise tax. It's a tax on all goods and services. Every business collects GET from consumers. When GET increases, the consumer pays the increase.
Another example is employers cutting work hours and laying off employees to compensate for Obamacare increasing the costs of healthcare for employers.
Coach is absolutely right about this.
