    Yes, but wouldn't you lower the rent regardless of debt status in order to get that income? The best pricing isn't done based on cost of the product or service, but rather on what the market will bear.

    Yes. Debt status has nothing to do with it.

    But you said that a consumption tax would lower overhead costs for companies, so they would automatically lower the price of their products.

    Did I say that? I think you're confusing me with someone else.

    I only pointed out the flaws in dwalker's two examples.

    HoneyBadger was right, he didn't say that, I did. Though not in those exact words.

    I know, I just took your post to mean that you agreed that consumption task would cause companies to lower prices; which I disagree with.

    I was definitely paraphrasing what you were saying there.


    Side note about the title of this thread: I think Romney is retarded to directly relate the people who don't pay federal income tax to Obama supporters. I think that 47% of people don't pay Federal income taxes, and probably 40+% of people that blindly support Obama, but they are certainly NOT the same people.
