If their taxes are being "cut" that means they were, in fact, paying taxes.

How much do you want to pay in taxes? Like most of us... I'm sure the answer is very fkn little.

So letting people keep the money they earn is entitlement? By all accounts a lot of it is being reinvested in this here country.

But you'd rather the gov't took it and mismanaged it, like they do all of our tax dollars?

Rhetorical questions.

I might be wrong, this is not my long suit, but what I have heard is the cuts supposedly promised to stimulate new orders of equipment to further stimulate Made in America...initially orders increased for a couple of months and then the tax savings ended up being diverted into buying back shares...increasing the wealth of the owners/major shareholders...and much of the rest went to bonuses for doing that wealth building.

Factory orders for American equipment flattened immediately. This was the permanent part of the massive tax cut.

The part where worker bees pocket a few extra bucks each week will expire...and has led to the largest surge in deficit, unprecedented negative results in economies of strong growth.

I'll understand if this gets picked apart, I'd prefer it be from economy experts rather than Trump sycophants...numbers instead of partisanship.

here's an article that discusses the Trump tax cuts: 1) slight benefits to average Americans 2) larger benefits to wealthiest Americans 3) largest benefits to American corporations.

Tax cuts to individuals will expire...corporate tax cuts are permanent...

down the road, average Americans will have to pay the bill for the deficits caused by these tax cuts...

And now for a little Randy Newmen....

We've taken all you've given
It's gettin' hard to make a livin'
Mr. President, have pity on the working man

We ain't asking you to love us
You may place yourself high above us
Mr. President, have pity on the working man

I know it may sound funny
But people ev'ry where are runnin' out of money
We just can't make it by ourself

It is cold and the wind is blowing
We need something to keep us gong
Mr. President, have pity on the working man

Maybe you're cheatin'
Maybe you're lyin'
Maybe you have lost your mind
Maybe you only think about yourself

Too late to run, too late to cry now
The time has come for us to say good-bye now
Mr. President, have pity on the working man
Mr. President, have pity on the working man

"Corp" is short for corporation, but that doesn't make it a four letter word.

Why do you hate corporations?

They help drive the economy. They employ hundreds of millions.

They EARN money.

You want to point fingers, start with government jobs. Every penny they take is siphoned off taxes rather than earned.

Yet the libs and the millenials and the snowflakes and the media and Bernie and Pocahontas and the mathematically challenged would rather get angry with the corporations.
