You’re right, in that the customer would pay the tax. But also its not like they could be charging an extra 20% and be getting more money. They will have put significant effort and research into finding out what the optimal level of pricing is to get the most grift, which means the fall in “sales” from putting things at a higher price would outweigh the increased profit. I’d rather them scam less and let the government get at least a slice of it. Though really, more regulation to stop this kind of exploitation would be better.
More regulation!? I thought your plans involved removing regulation even if it harms people, and then hoping that some libertarian techbro utopia would emerge out of nowhere.
Oh look you’re now stalking me though comments and decided I’m a libertarian. In some places more regulation is good, in others poor regulation is bad. For example placing regulations on when unions are allowed to strike is an example of bad regulation, is that ok with you? Or would you rather I just played into your fantasy of techno-bro and just say “government bad, ubermen smash!” more?
I’m noticing your ideological inconsistencies. But if unions come up, I wouldn’t be surprised if you suddenly had a lot of devil’s advocate points about how unions can be corrupt, how dues are too expensive, or (to be more accurate) just saying outright that unions are worse than they are good, without providing any evidence how. Perhaps you could even throw in some claims about how unions are actually anti-leftist
