Your position suggests you have zero ability to pass any kind of increase in fuel costs on to your customers. I seriously doubt this is the case. Channel 5 did a big story last night about how prices at the St. Gertrude festival for food and ride tickets were more than they have been in the past because of the increased fuel costs involved in getting the festival set up. Surely you are as capable a manager of your business as the festival organizers.
Taxes are taxes are taxes. They all suck but some make more sense than others. A tax on gasoline will always make more sense than a tax on an individual's income.
Bearcat428: Have you started thinking about ways you can change your business to make it less reliant on gasoline? Maybe you should think about going into a different kind of business.
