Discuss the ways taxes affect a company. Imagine you own a company that produces cars: What taxes do you have to pay during the course of your business cycle? Think about the process from start to finish. How do these taxes affect your budget? What impact do you believe taxes have on the state of employment and the workforce? Are they beneficial or a hindrance to growth in employment? If taxes were lower, how could you run your business differently? What do you think would happen if there were no taxes and you could spend all your money on capital and employee wages?
