Tell me about all that cost savings you encountered when agent orange cut corporate tax rates by 14%...

Nat Gas contract down over a 1% this AM. I would question the accuracy of that news item.
Kinda depends, a tax rate increase that then goes to infrastructure can raise all boats of as well. The only real winners are the parts of society not actually involved in the economy - no job, no savings, no retirement fund and no near term plans to have any of those. And if that number remains low enough then it is the right thing to do via a safety net. But there is a tipping point where too few produce and too many on the couch and an economy becomes unsustainable.
Correction: appears true, I guess prices aren’t reacting because the pipeline wasn’t supplying Europe. ?
Where did I say one word about cutting corporate taxes? I said raising them hurts consumers. The same folks you think it helps.You're wrong and your comment here explains the lack of thought process and research you've put into this.
If cutting the shit out of corporate taxes was such a good idea under trumphf, explain how that was a benefit to the middle class.
Prices for goods hasn't declined, I saw no massive bump in middle class wages, etc.
What I did see is record profits, increased CEO salaries, and corporate windfall.
Finally if your contention is that decreasing corporate taxes is such a great idea, then why not cut them to zero?
Sounds like you believe we'd be in high cotton if the poor corporations didn't have to pay for Jack chit.
You've been brain washed by corporate America.
Educate yourself....
Harley-Davidson is a Case Study in How the Trump-GOP Tax Law is Failing American Workers - But It's not Alone - Americans For Tax Fairness
After big tax-rate cut, Harley shut a Kansas City plant—costing 800 local jobs—rewarded shareholders with $700 million in stock buybacks and opened a new facility in Thailand. But the motorcycle maker’s corporate-tax-cut story is not unique. Iconic motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson’s response to...
I’m always fascinated by the thinking on taxes. There seems to be an argument that we shouldn’t increase corporate taxes because the cost will be passed on to consumers (middle class). But the reduction in revenue, and subsequent debt, will have to be paid as well. And I agree, it will be paid for by the middle class. Corporations like to argue “Cut our taxes and we will create jobs”. What they leave out is “…and the government can tax the hell out of the employees because we don’t care”.
If you agree that it will be paid for by the middle class, how do you argue that it helps the middle class?
If you cut corporate taxes, the revenue has to be supplied from somewhere else. Over the last 40 yrs, that has come mostly from worker income taxes. I am not arguing that an increase in corporate taxes gets “paid for by the consumer”. That is nonsense. It does impact shareholders. It’s the same capital vs labor conflict that has existed for centuries. You can increase corporate taxes until the providers of capital (shareholders) no longer provide that capital because the return isn’t worth the risk. We are a LONG way from that level. US corporate taxes have been 40-50% historically and corporations didn’t disappear.
Really? In case you were wondering things like slashing corporate tax rates by 14% don't impact the economy in 24 hours...or only short term.
Higher than that during WWII and they still made profits.
How did that competitive advantage work out for the employees at Harley in the article I linked?
How did it work for the entire city of Flint in the 1970s?
Who on this thread is arguing to cut corporate taxes? I haven't seen one person. Yet you and Buzz have referenced that multiple times.
It is time you all look yourselves in the mirror and realize that you have actually caused LWC and I to agree on something
. How could you have let it come to this
