Consumers pay everything. Don't you forget it.

Who REALLY paid the tobacco company fines?

Does anyone really believe that the tobacco companies are paying the $206 billion fine that was levied on them in 1998? Every penny they have - and pay in fines or taxes - comes from the sale of their products.

What if the government imposes a tax on a company - any company? The customers of that company pay it. The company either raises prices or accepts lower profit (ha!).
