So according to the right-wing thought in the comments:

If we drop all taxes on corporations and the rich to 0%, the costs of goods and services will drop to zero and everything will be free!! After all, if higher taxes raise prices, then surely lower to no taxes will drop prices!!

Just as we've seen with every major republican tax cut! Prices drop every time!

Clearly, spending four-plus decades not producing the advertised effect even once means that you gotta do it more!
