== hints at pressure on corporate margins.==

And if those hints become reality, might prices rise to re-increase margins?

Do you make the same argument about the corporate income tax being absorbed by companies? Or do you assume that tax makes its way to consumers through price increases? What about increases in the minimum wage?



They are reality (OP says GM took a $1B hit), and no, they aren't


It’s odd how you claim this will impact foreign companies, but your only example is a US-based company.

The question was, do you believe companies will just accept lower margins or if they will eventually increase prices to re-coup those margins?

If you think they will just absorb it, would you apply the same logic to minimum wage or corporate tax increases?
