Or the corporations will like to keep more of their own profits too. I guess I can "hope" they will pass that on but since they pass on.

It's called competiton, and it works every time.

• A milk processor has the choice of multiple dairy farms to buy their raw milk from, they'll buy from the one with the lowest price.
• A grocery has the choice of multiple milk processors to purchase their milk from, they'll choose the one with the lowest price.
• You, the consumer, have the choice of multiple groceries to purchase your milk from, you'll choose the one with the lowest price.

The result: milk prices will go down.

It's only when the government interferes in the free market system that prices don't drop. Let to its own, free market competiton will force prices down to the lowest point.

So what happens to the greedy business man that tries to keep the increase in profits instead of passing it onto the customer? They lose so many customers that they go out of business.

I have had my head explode on multiple occasions when I tried to explain to a Liberal that mandatory insurance laws drive the price of insurance up instead of down.

You take a good that has a fixed supply because the number of providers is set by the state and then you push the demand to maximum by making owning this good mandatory. The price will go up not down.

Somehow the Liberal mind just cannot accept this -- it's like showing the cross to Dracula.

Will be passing it on to all those who are victims of our crappy public school systems and cannot grasp the savings from 999.
