Well of course, I was just trying to sum up the right-wing position.

It's just cute watching you think it could all work if it were just done right.

I sure hope Haliburton is still carrying wheelbarrows full of cash out of the Middle East. The system is working as intended.

totally agree on the 1st paragraph...

Ob your points about the garden-variety "progressives"
1) Many people that i know that are "liberal / progressive" KNOW that they are getting their money taken. Some are of the wealthier type. And quite a few of the big earning Business dont give a dam of a small tax hike, in a time of World Record earnings for corporations. A few % points of effective tax rate change wont even make a dent in the Net Gains.
Yes, the non conforming ones will try and hike prices, but in the current economy they will lose a decent portion of customer base to the companies that take the minimal hit.

Well since we are having "World Record earnings for corporations" and there's a tremendous base of business-to-business sales, why would they lose sales by hiking taxes in the "current economy"?

And here's a newsflash: Prices are already going up and they'll continue to increase.

They would lose sales by what you stated, if the taxes go up the comanpies will try to put it on the consumer.
Not all companies will adjust accordingly to re-coup the tax increase. So those would be the companies that gain a consumer base.
News flash? Not every market has raised prices.
Here's a real news flash for ya : Prices rarely jump up or down , They are all dependent on the Value of the dollar. They compensate . meaning the price is very similar to the original.. again, dependant on the value of the dollar.

gee, that explains the hundreds of percents increases in fuel, food and health insurance (etc.) over the last 10 years, while the real estate markets crashed all over the country in the face of a floundering dollar, all the while inflation was (supposedly) either 4% or non-existent or we were in a recession...i'm glad someone finally cleared that shit up for me
