Rachael Martinelli Case Study 8-2: The Outsourced Work 1.

However, since the demand of consumers is inelastic and can vary based on market and economic conditions, this burden is felt more by lower income individuals and families. However, it is important to note that the tax burden is independent of who physically pays the tax.

If there is no probable cause or search warrant issued legally, the evidence found unconstitutionally will be inadmissible in the courtroom and not even considered when pressing charges.
