Sure, it will help, but I don't think it will offset the tax cuts he plans on making for 95% of the tax payers. I also don't think that eliminating the loopholes for big corporations will help, because the difference will just go to the consumers. He says a lot of pretty things, as all good politicians do, but he still fails to really impress me with much substantial information. I know it's a big unknown game at this point, but I really would like so see some clear direction, from either side.

That's not how supply and demand works. Taxes on producers won't directly change either supply or demand, so the price stays put. The difference comes out of the big corporations' profits (IE those obscene paychecks the fat cats pay each other). If the product becomes unprofitable as a result of the taxes, it'll get discontinued.
