>Doug may be able to comment more technically on this.
might be misremembering, but i thought it was Doug who made the argument that the tax burden just gets passed on, that it was stupid bean counting lefties engaged in to try to avoid making people think they had to "pay for it". Somebody did, a few years ago, and they convinced me through their evidence that the argument that you could tax other things to avoid taxing "people" was erroneous. whee. maybe we can dredge the argument up again, it'll go on for three weeks like it did last time. yay!
meanwhile, my own experience watching the company I work for is that, when they couldn't sell the company to protect themselves from the tax burden they assumed Obama was going to bring on them, the just engaged in anticipatory layoffs to maintain their profits.
somebody's paying for it.
