"That's the point. They don't get 30% more to spend when prices are raised."

Uh Huh and what happens to that product on the shelves that is thirty percent higher but the consumer does not have a 30% increase in spedning income? (Considering now that Corps will be making higher profits by not paying income taxes and not wasting money on compliance with income taxes.)

I can't answer that for them but maybe you can.

I was looking at a new G.E. refrigerator yesterday, it was made in Mexico. Not long ago I was looking at a John Deere tractor, it was made in Germany. How much U.S.income tax and compliance cost do you think there is built into foreign made products?...Which most products are by the way.

Maybe you could explain how 20 to 30% of the gross (retail) price is tax and compliance when tax is imposed on profit that is 10% or less of the gross.

Trapped in his own contradiction, he changes the subject. Same old story.

Hoisted on his own petard as it were... LOL

He'll disappear for a while, then come back with another line of bogus objections.

I wonder why he won't tell us the real reason he opposes tax reform. We believe from previous posting history he's been involved with the tax protestors .... hmmmmm

If someone isn't filing now and isn't paying any FICA now, he sure would be opposed to a system that would make him pay his fair share....
