Putting a tax on the gross income of businesses, just shows how little our politicians know about running a business. Some large grocery stores operate on a 2 to 3 percent profit margin. Start up companies, which may have high sales, but stilling paying startup cost may have very little profit. Having them pay taxes on their gross sales may contribute to them not being able to stay in business. Jim
