    Please learn some manners and some common sense. Any tax on a business will be passed to their customers. People don't start businesses to pay taxes or make payroll. If you take away the profit, they shut down the business. It's common sense.

    Who bears the burden of tax increases on business? Can business owners not adjust their prices to maintain profits? If the market does not allow them to raise their prices, do they not have the option to shut down the business if it ceases to remain profitable? Why don't you show me where I'm wrong instead of trying to impress me with a vocabulary?

    Depends on supply and demand, making your original comment cretinous.

    They can, but supply and demand shows that "pass the taxes on to their customers with price increases" is typically wrong.

    They certainly can shutdown. That's rare, mind you, as they're making profit.

    It isn't about vocabulary. You simply have no understanding of economics.That's not my opinion. You demonstrated that with your original comment.

    I understand perfectly. Just because I didn't give every conceivable option to a scenario, "I'm ignorant".

    Sorry, but I can't sugar coat it. You need the ludicrous circumstance of a vertical demand (i.e. a good with no substitutes that consumers, no matter, have to buy). Your comment is ignorant.

    Great back and forth. Truly impressive. Smart people here. Think how great it would be if it addressed the OP. Remember the Cold Civil War? But, carry on and God bless.

    How do you confuse my being both perceptive, and dismissive with being "ruffled up"? << rhetorical. I note you also confuse DNC / MSM "lies" with "opinions". Pelosi said on CBS 60 minutes "Barr may be whitewashing report". Mueller is working with Barr to prepare it's release. Whitewashing is a lie. Redactions aren't decided by Trump who hasn't been given the report either.

    You are correct that we need to nullify the sources of disinformation. The social media organizations must take the lead and we must be prepared to play our part as well. Be skeptical of everything that promotes our own Confirmation Biases because that is where the Russians are exploiting us. If it sounds too good to be true it is probably disinformation. United we can defeat those that would divide and conquer us.

    I just held up a mirror and you recoiled at your own reflection. That is NOT my problem.

    Given that we KNOW that the EC was RIGGED in 3 states by Minority Voter Suppression and that the MAJORITY of the electorate did NOT want the BLOTUS I do not accept that he is a legitimate incumbent. I have the individual right to free expression and I use that right to make it abundantly clear that EVERYTHING that the BLOTUS does WRONG is the FAULT of those who support him.

    My use of my Constitutional Right to Freedom of Expression has ZERO BEARING on my citizenship. I respect the OFFICE of the POTUS but I REFUSE to respect or even acknowledge that the crude boorish lout with criminal tendencies has any legitimacy just because he is SQUATTING in the Oval office.

    As an American I have the right to express myself in this manner and I am exercising my right to the fullest and will continue to do so until this travesty is over.

    But you know that Trump IS your President. What do you call it when you say something you know isn’t true?

    What the f... hell? Nancy Pelosi is not the MSM! She's the Speaker of the House!

    In any case, what you say is false!!!! Mueller is not working with Barr, as you falsely claim. That's fake news.

    YOUR problem is that you know who the President of the United States is, but you keep pretending otherwise.

    CBS gave Pelosi the platform and other outlets cited the interview, and quoted Pelosi's comments. Literally 1000's of lies since 2016 have been playing on an endless loop on multiple outlets. Your denial couldn't be more ridiculous.

    Your problem is that you lack the fundamental cognitive skills and/or education to know the all too obvious difference between an opinion and a canard.

    When you kept saying “your president” over and over again to another poster, you were not suggesting it as a matter of opinion. That’s why I asked your nationality.

    Wrong on ALL COUNTS again!

    The term I always use is BLOTUS and you can find out what that means in my signature below.

    During the Obama administration there were a great many people who disavowed him as their president.

    Does that mean that ALL OF THEM are not Americans either. FTR they ALL support the BLOTUS now.

    Did you miss out on the Civics 101 classes when they EXPLAINED the basic concept of INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS like Freedom of Expression?

    Why do YOU not understand any of this?
