First, arguing that the fee is only 3% so therefore we shouldn't oppose it, is fallacious as that is how income tax was started - the "we'll just just take a little iddy bit." Its the door to door salesman old trick - the foot in the door trick. <br /> <br />Now my own personal opinion is that the modelling industry is doomed to accept it. My experience is that there is virtually no "clout" in the modelling industry to affect a larger RR like UP. The only reason the CEO of UP might care at all what the CEO of Atlas might think is that if some how it is going to significantly impact the books of UP, which is hardly likely. This isn't me being rude, this is plain economic reality. <br /> <br />So for those companies that are going to fight it, they had better have pretty good precedent law on the books to back them up, and not just some high priced smooth talking lawyer who wants to add an addition on to his house and send his children to private school. The law is more on the side of UP than on the opposition. Personally I wish it weren't so, but who cares what I think, UP and the courts don't.
