[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 290297"] I would assume a 200% tax increase would mean 200% on the taxes they already collect. Who this also hurts is the producers/blenders. They will have to up the price to cover their overhead because of lost profits. (x) customers buying (y) ounces per year on average directly affects the small producer. The government takes their cut (tax), less customers purchase (y) ounces forcing the producer to increase the base price. Even less customers purchase said product forcing the producer to close their doors and lay off employees. Big producer X steps in with a cheaper and inferior product to fill the demand. while(consumer = 'lose' && small_corp = 'lose'){ big_corp = 'win'; big_gov = 'win'; } if (big_corp = 'win' && big_gov = 'win'){ politicians_claim_victory = true; } [/QUOTE]
