Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 8, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 8, 2019 One really has to laugh at the article title. Like it surprised them or something. Its like saying "Hey we are going to raise property taxes by 50% but you cannot pass that on to your renters." Nearly 100 percent of Seattle’s soda tax is being passed on to consumers, new report estimates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does "the wealthy" have to do with it? Kind of an odd way of looking at it. Just because one is wealthy doesn't mean they automatically have customers. Wouldn't MC small business owners be just as likely to pass it on? Edited January 8, 2019 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause they wouldn't last very long if they did that repeatedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how months of drought has nothing to do with low lake levels and dry soil. If the soil and lakes did a better job at saving moisture, they wouldn't be so dry. Using that as an analogy just shows how stupid you really are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
