    Plus a lot of smaller companies and stores never reach the 25 million so not need to pay the tax and raise their prices. Meaning mom and pop shops will get a small edge over large corporate outlets.

      This would be an outstanding outcome. It’s about time someone working towards the American dream gets a break.

        The question is probably if it is enough to compete, but it’s something.
