    Cost is determined more by what people are willing to pay and less by what it costs to make the product.

    If they can charge $5 for a bottle of water, they’re going to do that whether it’s costs $1 or $2 to make.

    So if they could increase costs today, they would. An increased tax would give them a politically friendly exercuse to do so, but it’s just an excuse. They’d do it either way.
