If the taxes go up, the cost of manufacturing, or selling, or stocking, or anything else (or everything else) goes up. You've demonstrated you understand this. How can you not understand that the cost also goes down when the taxes go down. And if lower taxes gives a company a way to bring prices down, and give them an edge over competition, why wouldn't they lower their prices?
Or are you saying that an entire industry will agree to pass that money on to shareholders and not use it to increase their market share?
