Your little outburst at me doesn't change the fact that you make up shit and pull numbers out of your ass.
whether Max's numbers add up or not, his point is trying to make up the extra expense of Obama care on volume. Sell more pizza's, you need more customers. to attract more customers to sell more pizza's you're going to have to advertise and or discount your product which are added expense. If you fail to get more customers, or your geographic area is tapped out, you raise your price and the big idea of selling a few more pizza's to mitigate the obama care costs using the increase in volume method is kaput.
You can make a point without making your facts up, but max can't. IF the playing field is level then all the competition will have the same costs so there will be no competitive disadvantage. The only thing max knows about the pizza business is how to eat em.
Not necessarily. Business can be in different stages of lifecycle. Imposing a cost on a new business vs an established business create different events. Imposing a cost between established business in various stages of maturity can be adverse. A marginal business can be pushed over the "edge" to fold. Whereas a growing business may absorb the increase to no effect.
Socialism is the economic system of the typical family: from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs. As I said, it's ever present.
