Well we're in the wrong thread for this so I'll just say yes, I do believe that it would make it to the consumer, at least partially due to competition.
Regardless to think corporations pay the tax bill is naïve, whether it ends up at the government or in some fat cat's pocket, it all comes from the customer and is figured into the cost of doing business. Corporations figure the profit margin they need to run at, and then calculate the cost of the product to get there.
We can agree to disagree..
