[Phantom Lord]

How many people actually believe that a corporation, once it has gotten people used to paying a certain price for an item, will actually lower their prices? The reality is that they will just pocket more money.

Lets just assume for the sake of argument that the NRST would reduce possible price at retail. If it does then business have 2 options available.

1) Lower prices

or

2) Go out of business when their competitor lowers prices.

There is no 3rd option.

nonsense. The 3rd option is to leave his higher price in place while his competitors do the same, so that all enjoy higher margins.
