So a tax that the government says and thinks is falling entirely on apple sellers ends up falling entirely on apple demanders — i.e., buyers

Following simple logic suggests eliminating the income tax on individuals and ONLY taxing corporations would have the same result...I'm for that except most businesses are individuals NOT "corporations".

The dirty secret Kotlikoff is not saying is that if apple sellers thought you would buy the same amount of apples at a higher price, they would be selling them at the higher price now.

It is called “competition,” LurkeyLiarLue.

Competition makes the world go round — can’t be repealed.
