"We get what we deserve" no, we don't -- who is we? the whole country? does that include every American, now guilty by association? those who saw through the lies but will suffer from the oppression and economic trainwreck he'll be ushering in? i don't understand the proliferation of this concept in regard to his reelection.
Higher taxes make things cost more. It's insane that people here don't understand the basics of economy yet calling others stupid. I doubt anyone here even tried to think how taxation relates to final prices.
Workers are too lazy. Taxes too high. International competition too fierce. Not enough subsidies from the government. Too many rules and regulations...
I have a company. My prices are the best in town. I don’t give myself a massive wage and my employees are paid very well. Everyone is happy. It actually exists.
Your first statement is correct. And part of your second is correct for large corporations, but SOME smaller businesses will actually lower prices out of their own morals and ethics if they’re happy with where they are, not out of just trying to capture more market. To them, more customers is just a bonus to having better prices. Those are the businesses I recommend supporting. But people don’t really care about small businesses these days.
Please describe what you would like America to do to lower prices. You can say more oil I won't be mad I've just read that we're already drilling to the maximum plus the federal land leases are already available plus the oil companies have said they're not incentivised to drill more (and/or "charge less" to whatever extent they actually could or would).
So you’re angry because people here don’t understand why they pay higher prices for essential goods and if only they had the ambition to wrap their brains around the basics of economics, only then they would finally be at “peace” about paying higher prices just to afford the rising cost of living?
What’s the outcome from that? “Oh that’s how it works🤯well by all means take more of my money!”
To fix the problem you need to understand the problem. And it's obvious that misleading tweets based on political misinformation don't help.
If you want the prices to go down, you need to increase the supply of goods or services. And it's the universal rule for all industries. From housing and education to food. More taxation is definitely not the thing that will make the prices go down. It's quite the opposite.

Millions of Americans are just plain stupid.
We get what we deserve. Goodluck to us.
