I may start calling this DUmbAss the Kansas Wind Spinner. Or maybe the Kansas Sh!t Spreader.
For the rest of this, let me confess that I’m just a fictional spirit-guide and not an economist, but this is what I come up with applying my version of common sense. I'm sure others here who are more economically minded can correct me where I'm wrong and/or explain it better...
Let’s say that Bob owns a business. Keep in mind, Bob most likely owns that business to make money because owning a business entails much too many headaches and hassles to own one just for fun. For this scenario, let’s say that your beloved demonrat overlords are in control of all branches of government and decide to jack up the taxes on Bob’s business and claim that doing so will give a break to you (their mindless, loyal minions).
Since Bob is in business to make money, once the tax increase goes into effect, he’ll raise the price of his goods or services to cover the tax increase. That means that Bob isn’t ultimately paying the tax. The consumers are.
Granted, lowering taxes on businesses may not assure that prices will go down, but increasing taxes on businesses will almost definitely assure that prices will go up. Increasing the taxes may also cause Bob to decide to streamline (make smaller) his business which will likely add numbers to the unemployment ranks. I’m sure that that doesn’t concern many of you who are leeching off of the government, but a contracting economy does concern most people who are not parasites and actually have jobs.
