Universal truth: When the government increases a tax, or levies a fee, or removes an incentive that diminishes the profit of a corporation, that gets passed down to the consumer.

It does not matter if it is a Democrat or Republican controlled government, or what level of government it is. When you diminish profit through increased cost of doing business, that cost is conveyed to the consumer.

Ah, but the difference is that when the consumer actually gets to see the price increase, instead of it being masked by tax break, then the consumer can decide what sort of backlash there will be to the producer.
