Fedex profited, UPS profited, the government profited, but the consumer just got indirectly taxed. If the government raises taxes on a corporation, that corporation just increases its costs to the consumer. If, for example, I charged 50 cents for an ice cream cone and the government raised my corporate taxes by 10%, that same ice cream price would increase to 55 cents. (Or I would shelter my revenue in another country.)</p></blockquote><p></p>
