So you jack up your price to achieve whatever profit you want.

No. That's stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. That's not what was said now, was it?

How is it possible you wouldn't cover costs?

When costs are greater than available funds. You are how old?

Can't you "simply increase the price" of your products?

You can if you like, but you cannot price to the extent of eliminating sales - because sales revenue is the only indefinite stream of cash flow with which costs may be paid.

Yea, that's exactly what was said and it's stupid, stupid, stupid to deny it.

Yeah, I think it was.

But if you can just raise your price, why wouldn't you be able to make sure revenues were greater than costs? How could any business go bankrupt in your world? If they aren't making a profit they just raise their price.

But if you could raise your price without eliminating sales, wouldn't you do that even if you weren't paying taxes? Don't you like as much profit as you can get or are you a communist?
