If a company could simply increase prices, they would all do it, with or without a tax increase. But if they did so, they may just price themselves out of the market.

They will either take the hit of an increased corporate income tax through their profits, or lose their customer base.

Consider this - A company prices its product or service to meet market demands. If corporations could pass all of a tax increase along to their customers, they would have no reason to object to increased taxes. Republicans would also not object because more taxpayers who today pay little or no taxes, would then pay more taxes and reduce the deficit.

That ain't whats happening...

F'king clueless. I am done with you Phil. Not worth my time. It's unbelievable how naive you really are.

Bleeding heart liberals. "Oooo, those nasty, mean, rich corporations." again.
