We also subsidize the auto companies (and companies related to the auto industry). Sometimes directly, sometimes by being lax on safety or privacy or efficiency standards, or by giving them loopholes (hello, truck-only product offerings). We could just... stop that. Taxing cars hits the public. Phasing out these subsidies hits companies that probably need to be smaller to begin with. Someone's going to get hurt, let's choose the ones with some fat to cut.
- robertlagrant 3y agoIt's the same. Taxing companies or people results in more cost to customers. It's like thinking that people pay income tax but companies pay employment tax. Companies would happily pay you the employment tax, as they've already budgeted paying that much for you anyway. Thinking this is some free money that doesn't affect people is incorrect.
