Let’s play your theory out. Let’s say for the sake of your argument that Businesses don’t pay taxes, just consumers. If true, Why would China, Mexico or Europe care about tariffs if it all fell on US consumers? If tax reform increased earnings by 10% this year - massive number - why is CPI going UP at a higher rate than a year ago.

micro economics IS business. I have a BS in Econ, a T10 MBA, am #2 finance exec for a 7b EV company and own and manage rental properties. I have done pricing for a large retailer. But thanks for playing. Companies will always charge as much as they can for a product at all times.

I just read that again and had a chuckle. Businesses don’t pay taxes! A tax is a cost, just like materials and labor. Get your first business text book out and read it again. You missed something.
