What does that have to do with the end user? Did the end user fine MS? Can
you provide one credible source for this speculation or are you just
making it up as you go along?

Let's suppose, for arguments sake, that Eric is correct (and he may be).
The cost is always bore by the end user, they always absorb the "cost of
doing business". When business taxes are raised by the governemtn here in
the US, we consumers wind up paying for it in highr costs for the products,
that's why this nonsense of windfall taxies on oil companies will only cost
the consumer more.
