They have no choice.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

*snicker*

Again, you might BELIEVE that, but the reality is another thing completely.

Again, you might BELIEVE that, but the reality is another thing completely.

So your honestly contending that when the wholesale cost of goods is reduced by the amount of embedded taxes that are removed by the NRST, that

1) Producers will not lower their price in an attempt to gain market share

2) Retailers will not lower their price in an attempt to gain market share

3) ALL retailers will secretly meet to agree to not lowering prices on anything a penny. Thus immediatly increasing their profits @ 30%, and forgoing any chance of gaining market share and expanding their business.

4) Or a single or several retailers will lower their prices but the rest of the retailers will not, and they will survive just fine.

Which are you contending will be the outcome?
