re: #700 Stonemason

yup, perfect sense, the price of widgets was too high to begin with, Big Widget was ripping off the consumer. In those cases, as I have stated a few times this morning, the rent/price will not go up. This started as a discussion on rent, not on widgets. The profit margin on rental properties to middle income Pennsylvanians (where I am) is not large enough to sustain a tax increase without a corresponding increase in rent or a cut in services to the property.

Does ANYONE have a link to something official on the rent tax. The article linked to above doesn’t talk about it, and I can’t find anything about it using Google.

How did the topic come up here? Who saw what about it, or who heard about it, what’s the sourcing on this rent tax in the health care bill.

What am I missing?
