I don't think it exits, except in Matt's mind.
Yeah, I'm just making it all up.... I enjoy making life more difficult for myself and my customers. It's all part of my evil plot to drive myself bankrupt! One of these days I'll show myself! Man I hope when it happens I'm there to watch too!
Oh, and here's one I had handy. This is, as it says, from a softcap. Yes, a piece of elastic!!

Matt,
I have the package of the Respironics Comfort Gel Nasal Mask, and there's no such warning on it.
I'm still not convinced.

The answer: from you and other consumers (from the increased selling price for their goods and services to cvoer the cost of those taxes).
If corporations didn't pay taxes, in a free society and in one in which the government has not aided and abetted a monopoly or has regulated prices, they would have to reduce the price for their product or service, or a competitor would do so and take their business away. They would not get a "free one." Their revenues would be decreased and their owners (stockholders) would be getting less earnings and be paying higher income taxes for those earnings.
Follow the money.
But, we can't do away with corporate taxes because of government established monopolies and/or price regulations.
I PMed my response to you since this is indeed an off-topic discussion as well as controversial.
