Subject: Re: That EU Trade Deal
Same thing. If you don't have a background in economics, you might not really understand how tax incidence works. Lots of very smart people believe the analogous thing about corporate taxes, and will vigorously dispute that taxing corporations involves imposing some amount of cost on those corporations' customers. Or that imposing taxes on fossil fuel companies might result in higher energy prices.

Hmm. I think most liberals would agree that taxing corporations more is a good thing. I honestly never thought about how much of a corporate tax gets passed on to consumers.
