They will either take the hit of an increased corporate income tax through their profits, or lose their customer base.

Consider this - A company prices its product or service to meet market demands. If corporations could pass all of a tax increase along to their customers, they would have no reason to object to increased taxes. Republicans would also not object because more taxpayers who today pay little or no taxes, would then pay more taxes and reduce the deficit.

That ain't whats happening...
