You are talking in circles. You say we need a tax cut to keep businesses producing in America then say that most of those businesses don't have the capital to make global decisions. Yes the small mom and pop that makes $100k a year doesn't have large accounting department. They also didn't save much either. But there are many CPAs that'll do the tax work and planning for $5k.... They can't afford that???UW_Doog_Bot said:
No, they don't have nearly the type of accounting department you think they do and more importantly, they don't have the capital and overseas presence to make significant decisions the way multinationals do.2001400ex said:

If you think lowering the corporate tax rate and streamlining the tax code isn't good for American competitiveness long term then your FS.
It's also better for small and middle sized businesses who don't have armies of accountants to ship money overseas or find every tax loophole. Large multinationals never paid the nominal corporate tax rate anyways.
The vast majority of the corporate tax cuts is going to the wealthy. And I'm sure you were a dude bashing on the deficit the prior 8 years.... Which now means nothing?
The wealthy pay the majority of taxes so how exactly should the tax cuts be dolled out? Also, are you measuring aggregate cuts, real numbers, percentage of income, or how exactly? I'd be curious to see the actual numbers as opposed to a talking point.
No, I haven't thought the deficit was that big of an issue since I took 300 level macro. We essentially take out debt out at a lower interest rate than inflation(i.e. negative interest). I think that the money we are essentially able to invest is better managed by the American taxpayers than large government agencies or contractors.
And you can read article after article about where the corporate tax cuts went. They were promoted as going to hiring people and investing in New businesses. But any person with a brain knows that corporations were already flush with cash and weren't investing. They don't invest unless there is demand. There isn't increased demand from a tax cut unless it goes to the middle class. So..... They spent it on stock buybacks and dividends with pennies going to employees.
This is very basic economics if you take your Trump dick sucking hat off.

Right. Those businesses just handed the money out to the middle class as promised. Ok!UW_Doog_Bot said:

Not surprising that it came from Sledog. He takes retard to levels never dreamed of by regular humans.ThomasFremont said:
This is the stupidest explanation of the housing bubble I have ever heard. And that’s saying something.Sledog said:No. I got stupid fucking democrat policies led to poor lending practices for social justice bullshit which caused a huge housing bubble and it's eventual collapse that everyone had to pay for.
