>Surcharge is the first of its kind for the e-commerce company
>'Consumers will lose,’ says consultant to Amazon merchants
As 100% of people who know basic highschool level economics already know, when company costs go up, so do prices. If you tax the companies at ridiculous rates (e.g. "muh tax the rich"), all they do is raise prices to cover the tax losses. Likewise, when almost half of the US dollars in all of existence have been printed in the last 2 years (e.g. "muh infrastructure bills"), inflation occurs and companies raise prices to cover the tax losses. All it means is YOUR costs go up, not theirs.
This inflationary period of 8.5% (if you actually believe that number is below 20%, you're retarded) is the largest tax hike in world history. Where's all the new roads and universal healthcare?
