On the recordMarch 25, 1998
I would hope that there is an understanding in general when it is background music and not primarily, something that is the primary business of the company that is playing the music. But there is an understanding that this helps promote, to some degree, the music involved with the individuals, and they are not going to be helped by restaurants going silent. They are not going to be helped by higher prices in restaurants either. That is really what I have a question about in this Republican controlled Congress. Are we, in effect, going to pass another backdoor tax increase?
