This always seemed very strange to me. If society deems it necessary for every business to be accessible, then society (the government) should pay for it out of tax revenue.

Or it could pay it from a tax imposed on businesses. But then collecting the tax from the businesses to then giving it back to them is just unnecessary paperwork on top of just having the businesses do it directly.

So, not strange at all, we already are, just not in a convoluted way.

Sure, as long as you don't mind us raising the tax rates to get the extra money needed to support your proposal.
Well of course. It goes without saying that if I support the ADA then I should be willing to fund it along with everyone else.
It's a one time conversion. Why not!

Fix 5% per year, it'll be done soon enough.
