In your dreams!
Name me three major corporations who experienced windfall profits that actually lowered the cost of their products rather than passing on those profits to their employees via pay increases and bonuses........
When was the last time you actually saw a decrease in the cost of automobiles despite sales records and record profits? When was the last time you ever saw a decrease in the cost of anything that wasn't related directly to competition?
It ain't gonna happen.........

unlesse producers collude in not lowering prices, competition will insure prices are lowered ...
Competition is the reason prices will come down. Companies charge as much as they can get away with. To gain an edge, they lower prices.
In the instances where the company is able to avoid lowering their prices, they will, as you say “pass(sic) on those profits to their employees via pay increases and bonuses........”. That is also a good thing. More $$ in the economy and out of Washington.
No matter how you slice it, it works out better.
