Bert 1,128 Posted August 19, 2022 21 hours ago, vomit said: Yes please explain to this to me. Apple paid $3B in taxes last year. If they pay $0 this year, how much will they reduce the price of an iphone? So Apple, Samsung, Nokie, Motorola, etc. no longer pay federal income tax. This will increase operating margin. One will use the extra margin to lower prices in order to gain market share. The others will follow in order to preserve market share. It is a fairly basic economic concept. Yes there are a million variables but the basic concept holds true. This is even more true after signing this bill because of the tax/fine imposed on the purchase of treasury stock.

It's also true that reducing expenses generally translates to higher EPS, even if that means a different product price point which will only happen if it projects higher revenue, hence higher EPS.

And if you can increase market share you will have long term growth in EPS. These corporations would not simply take all of the tax expense to earnings. Not sure how many corporations or industries you have worked in but that is not how corporations function. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an expense reduction. I never said they would simply just just take all the savings as expense reduction, but also make investments to grow. My whole point, is that it's not as simple as "I pay less in taxes, now I reduce the price of my product", as horsesh1t has stated. I'm sure you agree with me.

But if they IRS hired 87K at 100,000 a piece, that would come to 8.7B. So even if the number is half of 1 trillion and they could recover 33% of it - that's still 165B in recovered funds from tax cheats. I'm good with that. Sorry if this was covered as I skipped a bunch of pages, but presuming $100K is a fair salary, that's only 1/2 of an employee cost, probably closer to 1/3 for a federal employee with additional overhead and benefits. Regardless, I have often said here that I laugh whenever the Left says that new taxes will only be on the rich, because the rich have better, more motivated, higher paid accountants avoiding said taxes. It looks like the feds are going to try to brute force prove me wrong through volume of auditors. We'll see if it works. I have my doubts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
