BTW if anyone wants the links, they're easy to find. I can help.

What about it? Give the links big shot.

And why is your opinion "fact" but Dr. Jorgensen is wrong???

Because unlike your hired economist I can show the numbers.

Please tell us all again just why your silly little opinion should mean anything when measured against opinions of those experts?

It's not an opinion, it's fact.

THose are experts that say prices will fall.

LOL. I didn't say they wouldn't fall, they may or may not...maybe someone will increase profits, but it won't be any 20, 30, 40%...

Show me the numbers, either yours or theirs, not lip service or irrelevant links.

Try this one: 33.33% tax on 60% profit = 20%...In other words to reduce the price 20% at a 33.33% tax rate they first would have to have a 60% profit or gain...A 25% tax rate would need an 80% profit or gain to meet your one pinhead economist's absurd, if not imbecilic estimation.

Sorry if I've made you cry.

Make me cry?...HA-- I'm laughing my ass off at your utter stupidity for not only falling for it but trying to defend and sell it....

What about it? Give the links ..

Just look at any of the above posts. They all contain links.

...unlike your hired economist I can show the numbers.

Well, you haven't ever shown any numbers. Further, while it may be true that a random individual spouts crap due to political belief, that is not the case when DOZENS of experts from DOZENS of industries all come to the same conclusion.

Looks like you've been reduced to attempting to discredit the entire world. How could your opinion be so diferent than nearly EVERYONE? Here's an example posted by you... "It's not an opinion, it's fact". Spoken like a true 7th grader. LOL

maybe someone will increase profits, but it won't be any 20, 30, 40%...

Oh, changing position now huh? You now admit that profits may increase. Well, it's a start. What moved you?...the MOUNTAIN of research done by DOZENS of EXPERTS in DOZENS of industries?

...tax rate would need an 80% profit or gain to meet your one pinhead economist's ...

"Pinhead"?... "one" economist??? No on both counts. There are DOZENS of experts in many fields supporting the positions I am asserting. And to call PhDs, LLMs, Chairmen of the Federal Reserve, and so on all "pinheads" is just a dumb thing to do... idiotic even.

Beyond that, your statement indicates that you believe that the only place tax savings will be realized by any entity is in the actual elimination of the entity's income taxes. That's just plain wrong. They will eliminate 100% of their income tax costs. They will eliminate 100% of their payroll tax costs. All of their supplies will be 20-40% cheaper. They will eliminate 90% of compliance costs. So your little math problem is not relevant.

But you go on saying your "facts" are facts. We'll just keep giving you your medicine.
