    No, they abandon it because the total tax revenue after implementation literally goes down instead of up, lol.

    Just because 100 people will buy your product X at $10 and you make $1000, doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed to make $2000 if you sell X for $20 instead. That’s basically the same principle–raising taxes doesn’t necessarily lead to an increase in revenue. People react to changes in policy.

    This is not speculation, it literally already happened. Stop speaking about this from your assumed expectations and learn the actual history.

      I’m aware of how the economy works, we all took econ 101 and many of us went beyond that. You need to stop feigning superiority and assuming a lack of education on anyone pushing back against what you’re saying.
