Can't believe Obama has even the slightest education sometimes.

You can't lower airline ticket prices and increase your profit...right? /s

Yesterday I was working with a customer who was wanting to purchase a whole house appliance package. She had an ad from a competitor that had a washer almost exactly like ours, but it had a different model number. The prices of the other appliances were the exact same, so she was going to go across the street and save $50. I quickly intervened and told her that we would match the price on the washer.

The profit margin on the washer was $200, so we still made $150 off of it, plus we got the full price for the other appliances.

The tax situation is similar. If you make it less painful for someone to invest or spend their money, they will likely do so more often.

Nashville has a tax-free weekend each year just before school starts that covers clothes, school supplies, and computers. This attracts tons of business from Kentucky, so the Louisville City Council is getting ready to vote to create a similar tax holiday and keep all of that revenue here in Kentucky.
