And yet the more expensive grocery stores in my town are still there.Just like with tax expenditures, most people do not even notice they are being ripped off by higher priced apples.Every gas station in my town has different prices. There is a 20 cent different per gallon between the highest and the lowest.In real life businesses cannot raise prices unless others are raising prices.....discounts can come from ad budgets in order to bring in more customers which in turn results in more income...In actuality, the restaurant charges everyone more for steaks to make up for the discounts for people who wear the right tie. My analogy is dead on.
In real life, that is exactly what happens. I have provided the evidence directly from the people who writes the tax laws for our country in this topic SEVERAL times.
The price of the same loaf of bread differs from grocery story to grocery store. This is something I have tracked for many years on a wide variety of products in my town.
So in real life businesses do raise prices higher than their competitors. Open your eyes.
When you compare apples to apples people will typically go for the lower price...
Seriously, open your eyes. Start comparing like to like at the grocery stores in your town. Welches grape jelly. Bread. Land O'Lakes Butter. Milk. You'll be amazed.
Then ask yourself why.
When you consistently pay more at one grocery store over another grocery store you start going to the cheaper grocery store....
This is where Libertarians (capital L) and I part ways. They have zero understanding of human behaviors.
