    that is ok, we don't count the debt this year for Biden as it a covid year, that is what the right says about Trump

    The answer is NOTHING. Why the non sequitur?

    if it did not count for Trump and you don't care, why do you care if Biden's counts?

    the better answer would have been... they both count

    The corporation's primary motive is to make money. It would be just like any other expense like electricity, trucking, etc. They believe whatever goal they select will give them maximum profit. Make the cost too high and sales go down. Make the cost too low and they don't make enough on each item sold. We are the ones who pay in the long run.

    yep, prices do not go down due to tax cuts, they will always charge the max we will pay

    sure it does, if Trump debt for 2020 don't count, then Biden debt for 2021 don't count

    While this is true, the notion of "what we will pay" is highly fluid and without a doubt related to at what price can you find an alternative. Nobody is going to pay $5 per gallon of gas if they can go up the street and buy it for $3. If however it is $5 everywhere, people will pay $5 because they do not have a choice. The same principle applies to todays high inflation rate where seemingly everything has went up in price.

    A high corporate tax rate increases the cost to produce which increases the selling price for all competitors. Because their tax increases and subsequent price increase move in unison, people will pay it because they do not have another alternative.

    Lets try this another way......So quote what I said that would make this a logical reply?

    The only thing I said to you was in regard to Biden claiming that the rich will pay for his massive spending increases and how those costs will trickle down to you. If you want to pretend like Bidens debt does not count, I truly could not care less. That notion has not one thing to do with anything that I had said to you.

    if you don't like the reply, can skip it, it relates as if it don't count, then it's zero

    do you think Trump's debt counted in 2020? simple question?

    which is why there is often price fixing going on, even if it can't be proved

    Inflation is also a factor. There are a number of places that money goes. For one, part goes to share holders like me. Employees get some in the long run and prices tend to go down. If you are looking for a sudden big jump, that usually does not happen whether the taxes go up or down.

    I will always point out obvious logical fallacies.

    In regards to your question, what does that even mean? Count according to what? One could argue that various situations are explainable, but of course all debt "counts". Why are you persisting with what amounts to childish nonsense that means absolutely nothing?

    Why are you changing the subject to price fixing. I was not discussing that topic.

    It is difficult (impossible) to have an intelligent discussion when you continue going off on these unrelated tangents rather than responding to what was actually said.

    At this moment, you are talking to me. I have made no such argument. I have a novel idea.... If you want to argue that topic, why not do so with someone that is actually making that argument?
