Comment on As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved

Seems like an opportunity to use this in attack PP’s tax-cut rhetoric, and to attack the oft-repeated talking points from business that tax increases will be passed on to consumers.

Tax cuts are eaten by businesses, so long as the businesses believe that people will continue to buy. Tax increases will also be eaten by businesses, so long as the businesses believe that people will refuse to buy at a higher price. It’s all being taken by or from shareholders.

It’s a shame no political entities will actually touch this with anything more pointed or useful than “that’s appalling!”
