How does cost plus work if there isn't a demand?

I see economics as far more complex than "black and white", and I'm myopic? Do you know the definition of myopic?

I don't care what political economic school of thought you squirt too! Confusing supply andd demand is just poor!

Since you think taxes should be increased but it would decrease revenues to the state, that means they should raise taxes?

From my understanding, we could use that economic tool to achieve more optimum rates of taxation that generate optimum rates of revenues; especially when running massive deficits-instead of some abstract and social form of equality regarding progressive forms of taxation in any capital based, market economy.

From what I read, cost plus is a method of ensuring a return on investment, potentially, in a vacuum of special pleading regarding market conditions.
