    The Incidence of the Tax
    Identify and explain the factors that determine who actually bears the burden of a tax increase on a specific good, such as gasoline, cigarettes, or some other product. Use at least two examples in your response. Is the incidence of the tax a consideration when government imposes this tax increase? Why or why not?
