So reduce the corporat tax to zero and the price of your apple will be...$1.10 with an additional 10% added to their profits.

Only if there’s only one person in the world selling apples!

Really? That's your logic? You are mistaken, my Free Republic friend.

While you may be right by looking at the issue through a microscope, the big picture will likely reveal that - unless there is one and only one producer of a given good or service - the free market will prevail. All it takes is one competitor to lower their price by that 10% and competitive forces will bring prices down all around.

Not so!

Competition will force prices back to $1.00.

Unless there is an apple monopoly, of course.
