Comment: I'm not saying this
I'm not saying this
I'm not saying this condescendingly, but have you ever taken an economics course? We as consumers "pay" a portion of all taxes on businesses b/c of a concept called elasticity. Depending on how much we "need" a product, the price will go up when that company is taxed (so we pay for almost 100% of business taxes in the form of price increases in industries like gas, food, or clothing). So while you may not pay an income tax, you still take on a tax burden. Eliminating taxes on businesses would drastically lower prices, and in the end the price that you pay may not be all that much higher than what you are paying now.
