Depends on who "they" are. The wireless companies likely won't increase their monthly rates. You will just see a hike in the Federal Universal Service Fee rate or some other tax line item on your cell phone bill. It will likely be touted as an increase on businesses and rich people, but make no mistake, the average consumer will pay.

Businesses don't pay their own taxes. YOU the customer pays business taxes through the money you spend on everyday transactions. whether it's a $.99 McDouble or a $500,000 Ferarri, you are still paying the taxes that business is charged by the federal and state governments. It's just added in as part of the price of the product or service you are buying. So when taxes are "raised on business income," be assured, you will pay more.
