During an interview aired on Thursday’s “MSNBC Live,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki reacted to concerns that corporations will raise prices if taxes on corporations are increased by stating that President Joe Biden believes people “know that corporations do not need to raise the cost of goods in order to pay more taxes and pay more of their fair share.”Host Hallie Jackson asked, “Of course, he could only do so much if corporations end up raising prices on things if they end up having a tax hike as well, right?”Psaki responded, “He also believes that the American people are smart.
I vote for Jennie the Ninnie to be the dumbest donkey on the planet.

"Fair share ", the cry of the libs. We all have to pay what they say is our " fair share". The left hates for people to have money unless it's them.

The American people are not really that smart given some of them actually voted for this crook. We know that is true for the plantation dwellers.

Let's circle back on that again.
Somewhere along the line, I missed that in Econ 101.

This demonstrates economic ignorance on a galactic scale! Corporations pass on taxes in their pricing as a cost of doing business like any other cost - utilities, health care plans, shrinkage, CPA services to manage all the damned taxes ( ! ), etc. They have to, otherwise escalating costs would eat away at all their profits. These people are completely clueless. We, the people, pay these taxes in reality.

She's only saying what old Joe believes, right? She should have circled back on that question. She shouldn't ad lib, even though she is a lib.

This is part of the democrat scam for decades.
Raise taxes, then blame the "greedy" corporations who likely have to raise prices.
Wonder what would happen to that publicly traded corporation who issued a statement saying they'll simply just absorb that tax increase, thus, reducing their profits?
Think their stock price would increase?
Of course, it's also how corporations end up pushing prices up too, so they're in on the scheme too. Especially when you're in a environment where there's pressure not to raise prices.
And, if prices go up, the unions demand higher wages in their next contract, or a higher cost-of-living increase(likely both).

The libs really don't understand business. Every dime a company has in cash comes from its customers. There is no printing press in the cellar. Every dime paid in taxes comes from the cash that comes from the customer. Simple. 100% of the taxes are paid by the customer. Every company that makes widget Z gets the same tax increase and passes it on to the customer. The competition comes from places with lower taxes, not other companies with the same tax.

One of my responsibilities as office manager of a construction firm was to keep a running total of the cost of goods, the salaries and benefits, the utilities and rent, the cost of running the vehicles and the taxes we were paying. That was how we based our hourly rate to customers. This woman is beyond dumb and so is Biden if they don't know how companies work. Of course if you've never worked in the private sector you wouldn't have a clue

Corporations are already raising prices as fast as they can, and more than any 2%, more like 8% plus. This is due to supply chain disruptions caused by all the international disruptions from Covid, and government interventions from ignorance and arrogance. The Democrats are borrowing in trillions, the Federal Reserve choking on purchasing the Treasury promissory notes, all worthless, as the government never pays anything back, except with another promissory note. I prefer the inflation to raising taxes, because the little people that voted for this can pitch in by paying the inflation tax on what they purchase. The middle class did not make this mess, won't get any of the gravy, and should not have to bear all the burden of this waste and ruin. 75% of government employees do nothing for this country, and could be let go. DC is nothing but a family, relatives, and friends employment circle, passed from one generation to the next, outsiders excluded, and benefitting nobody but themselves.

What is your fair share of what someone else has worked for? Why is it greed to want to keep money you have earned but not greed to want to take someone else's money?

Pension funds are the largest purchasers of stocks.
The federal government has legislated /enforced the concept of fiduciary responsibility for pension funds maximize gains, minimize risk, operating exclusively in the interests of participants..
A pension fund that purchased and/or held stock in a Company that refused to increase prices would be in violation of federal law.

Repeat after me: There is no such thing as a corporate tax.
All costs of doing business get passed on to the consumer. What the public does or doesn't know means jack!

Corporations exist to make as high a profit as they can. The stock holders of any company would not be happy at all if the corporate mindset was to sell their products at cost.

It is 100% CERTAIN that when taxes go up, prices will go up to cover.

Couple of things.
Walking dowm memory lane, remember how many businesses gave pay raises and bonuses (or as Nancy Pelosi called them "crumbs") to their workers when corporate taxes were cut?
Second, I just got a memo from my employer yesterday. Seems there has been substantial increases in many commodity prices from suppliers. Items such as water heaters, vinyl gloves, and faucets have increased 10-100% in the past year. We can negotiate and absorb some of these increases, but most will be passed on to our customers. And their customers.
I guess we're back to the inflationary times of the 70s and 80s. We've already got about a dollar per gallon increase in gas prices since Sleepy Creepy Clumsy Crooked President Uncle Joe stole the election.

Then why does Joe have to raise our taxes as he spends more money he does not have? That's the equivalent of raising our prices to pay for government.

Doesn't matter what color her hair is. Apparently it smells nice.
And if you liked the Carter administration you're going to LOVE Biden.
If you are too young to remember the Carter administration fasten your seatbelts. It's about to get fun.

easy for him to say, he hasn't bought life sustaining merchandise in, at least, 45 years. now he has Dr. Jill to provide a balanced diet and all the speed she can prescribe. Dr. Jill is not a Doctor?, she has to be Whoopi Goldberg, PhD said so.

Need? Maybe some companies don't "need" to...like your favored buddies in Silly-Con Valley, but that is the normal end result...raise the costs of doing business and the prices go up. Now let's talk about the idea of minimum wage and its effect of prices...dingbat
