No homo economicus would be willing to pay $500,030 for a house when they could pay $500,000.30. 99.99% of humans would be fine with that.

Go to a car dealership or real-estate agent and tell them they'll now have to pay $30 on every transaction, and see how it goes.

They would never pay it, they would just pass the cost on to the customer.
