Adept1, what color is the sky in your world?

Do you really think that corporations will drop pricing if they don't have to pay taxes?



Just like when they dropped prices on products when they started outsourcing them to countries overseas, right?

Yes the laws of the free marketplace are absolute and competition would make them lower their prices.
Yes Wal mart is the perfect example....lowest and lowering prices constantly.

Being that all men are created equal.

Why should one man pay a higher percentage than the next?

Your first sentence ignores something incredibly unequal about the second sentence.

All men may be CREATED equal, but a 30% tax to a guy who makes $20,000 has a clearly unequal impact than on a 30% tax to a guy who makes $200,000, or $2,000,000.

"competition"?
Take your competition and show it to the gasoline price industry.

Or to HMOs ...

"Competition" works when people are competing to please the customer.
In today's economy, the fight is more to please the stock-holder
