You might want to educate yourself on the full circumstances of the issue before making statements like that. As for the cost of consumer goods, have you compared the cost of 1987 Wranglers against other common consumer goods and converted them into 2012 dollars? Without a comparative cost analysis, your examples are pretty meaningless. The problem is, some companies and corporations are better positioned to take advantage of those loopholes. This causes a comparative imbalance in assessed tax rates that inhibits free market capitalism. We no longer have the sort of free market capitalism that Lurker66 alludes to. We have faux market capitalism where someone's thumb is always on the scales. Correct the imbalance and a lot of our market woes will disappear.</blockquote>
