Why don't liberals understand that higher profits = higher tax revenue?

That is not necessarily true. It depends on the amount of competition in the industry. In the donut industry, for example, there is a lot of competition, so the additional tax may be absorbed by the companies in order to stay competitive.

In the oil industry, on the other hand, there is very little competition, so it is easy for companies to pass on the costs to consumers.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
