If every business's costs go up by the same amount, and they're all passing the costs on to customers, why are any of them going out of business?

Are some businesses able to plan better and reduce the amount they pay in tolls? Do some choose not to pass costs on? Definitely. But you can say that about any cost of doing business - labor, materials, licensing, insurance.

Because not all business costs go up by the same relative amount and not all of them are able to easily pass the costs onto customers.

I think I addressed both of those points already.

No, you didn't.
