Nope, that's not who takes the hit. Actual Fact: whoever brings the money to the transaction pays the piper. Always. Doesn't matter who appears to take it, the cash ALWAYS actually comes out of the hide of the person forking over money.

Either prices increased to cover the rate. Or the GOV made the decision it's cheaper this way. Rest assured if it was the latter (lower employee costs), at some point in the future, the prices will most definitely increase, and it will be included in the cost, rounded up to make it a nice even number that people can feel good about.
