I actually agree with what you’re saying, for once. Here’s what I think is missing: small business. Home Depot can eat the costs, at least for awhile, until shareholders get antsy about P/E. But what about small business? Probably not so much. This consumer tax stupidity is going to hurt small business the most, which places like Home Depot and Amazon probably don’t mind because if they can hold out until the small businesses go under, they’ll gobble up market share and eventually raise prices.
