Seasoned Perspective - Citizen Blog

When the government raises taxes and the cost of doing business in general, businesses respond in one of two ways. They either raise the cost of their goods and services and "pass" them on to the consumer or they layoff employees in an attempt to reduce the costs of operations equal to the increases imposed by the government.
