So why do Corporations care so much about labor costs,
if they can just add them to the price of their product and pass them along?
Because the public will only pay so much for any product or service. If a business is already charging near the maximum that the market will support (which they should be doing) and the government makes it more expensive to do business by adding tax burdens something has to give and labor is the easiest thing to cut. It's easier to become more efficient and do more with less than it is to try and market a product that is too expensive for the market to bear.
That you don't know this simple fact is the reason you should stop pretending you know anything about business.
Which is exactly the point I made about taxes, which, if you could read, you would have seen, and if you could think, you would have understood, and if you could stop being a partisan clown for 30 seconds, you would have agreed with.
Corporations CANNOT simply pass the cost of taxes, OR labor, on to the consumer via higher prices.
Of course they do. That's the entire reason for outsourcing. Cheaper labor which is passed on to the consumer in the form of lower prices. The reason why Apple manufactures products in China is because Americans won't pay $3,000 for a IPod. Not just corporations, but every form of business passes on the costs of taxes and labor to their customers.
You're admitting that Apple CANNOT just pass its costs along to the consumer. That's been my point this whole thread.
Speaking of 'points' what was the point of this thread?
To end the corporate tax and simply shift that tax burden directly to you and me? Is that it? Cut the corporate tax and raise our income taxes to make up for the lost revenue?
You are right but that has nothing to do with the fact that PEOPLE, not corporations, pay taxes.
Change the tax code, something Democrats do not want to do, and these tax loopholes would end over night.
You do know it is the tax code that allows this, don't you?
So you favor the Fair Tax? Good man!

The three of you are talking past each other. All three of you agree that if taxes are raised, a corporation cannot just raise its prices to pay for the extra tax, and that the cost has to come from elsewhere.

No they raise prices. If prices cannot be raised because no one will pay that price for that product, they cut costs. They fire people. They close unprofitable branches. They leave the country completely. The company is being taxed beyond its ability to survive so it shrinks. If enough businesses are being taxed beyond their survival ability the entire economy contracts. Which is what we have now.
A corporation may use profits to keep going but not for long. Corporations have been known to borrow money to pay shareholders a dividend just to stop a sell off. I'm surprised that basic business practices aren't known by so many people.
If I were president, I'd make a world wide announcement that we were going to drill every place possible. We were going to wring out every drop of oil and flood the market with cheap US oil. Upon that announcement the price would drop overnight. Oil speculators would be facing the threat of a glut and react accordingly.
What obama is doing is sheer insanity. His intention is to make energy so painful and expensive that we will make an exhorbitant investment in trying alternative energy. Trying because every effort so far has failed. We can take only so many failures.

And with his failures on the backs of the taxpayers/ It isn't working out so well for him either...So he throws fussfits by demonizing non-existant subsidies.
