I think this would create inflation and it will not be of help to those with low earnings.

That sounds like a lot! Is that kind of thing normal in America? It does sound like it might lead to job losses.

They should pay their fair share. Many companies are showing record profits and still cutting back on employees.

I think a lot of people will suffer from it not just the business's but you & others like on limited incomes cause it will RAISE prices to COVER the tax they are dealt with so you think about how it will effect a lot of people cause a lot of business's will shut down.
