If someone is selling me gasoline and his taxes rise , I should not mind the increase in my cost?


I mind every increase in every price I pay.
You better believe that the station that eats the increase will get my business.
Does he give a sh*t about my taxes or salary? Not even a small turd does he care. So why shouldn't I mind if he tries to stick me with his damned taxes?


You will give your business to the least expensive store?

How is that diffrent than all the rest of us?

The profit margin on Gasoline is thin , so an increase in taxes will be passed along pretty quickly .

It is alright for a high volume business to have a narrow profit margin , but there will be  a minimum, and none of them will allow a negative profit margin.

The windfall profit tax was tried before ,a nd the Public clamored for relief.

A Windfalls profit tax will do NOTHING to increase supply, or to decrease the price of gasoline at the pump.  All it is is some arbitrary effort to "punish" big oil for making their so called "obscene profits"  No more than that
