Republicans think handing corporations money creates jobs.

No one is "giving" money to the corporations. What is being proposed is letting corporations keep more of THEIR OWN MONEY.

Increasing corporate profits doesn't translate to an increase in revenue. Revenue is how a corporation determines the level of demand and is used as a forecast. Profit margins can increase without revenues increasing; that happens when a business cuts expenses like jobs and benefits.

Profit = Tax Rate x (Revenues - Expenses)

In no case will Profit be < $0 unless the Tax Rate is 100% or Expenses > Revenues.

Econ 101, folks.
 
Reagan's Suppy Side Economics screwed minorities and the poor.
Trump wants to address that but both parties are quite happy with the way things are.

Which doesn't benefit consumers, suppresses wages, and doesn't translate to growth.

No business is going to expand if there's no demand for them to meet.

/---- The marketplace will correct it. It's none of your business unless you're a stockholder or employee.

Ah, yes...the "invisible hand" which is just another way to say "faith". All Conservative policy seems to come down to faith and magic. Which is why most Conservatives believe in fairy tales like the Bible or trickle-down.
 
/---- You mean like solar and wind? You mean like that?

Solar energy installations have grown by 6000% since 2005, and the cost per MwC has been cut by 50%. There are now more people employed in solar than in oil, natural gas, and coal combined.

/---- Solar was heavly subsidized by tax payer money -the exact policy you rail against as Corporate Welfare.As soon as the subsidies ended the sales crashed.

So are most oil companies who pay virtually no taxes. You want to talk subsidization? Let's talk about how every single red states used the welfare block grant to pay for tax cuts.

That's subsidization in the trillions.
 
I have news for the ultimate business man of all time, El Dumpster. Handing corporations money through tax cuts do not create jobs. Corporations hire people when they have a need.

If you want to create jobs, increase the demand for the products corporations supply. You do that by cutting taxes for the the middle & lower class people. They will spend that money & thereby increase demand.

If you want to bring those overseas corporate profits, end the tax break that said those profits aren't taxed until they bring them home.

Then, consider how much money Trump will profit from this tax break. Conflict of interest.

This tax break will not help struggling companies that make no or little profit.

It will actually reduce some investments. Corporatioins buying equipment, etc get a tax write off worth 35% & now that write off is only worth 15%.

'Trump is only helping himself.

I agree with some of your sentiment. However you have to explain to me how you give a substantial tax break to people who pay Little or no federal tax, the middle and lower class people you mention. You do realize we already have a progressive tax system, don't you?

You also said Trump will benefit from the tax break and it was a conflict of interest. Please provide a link that demonstrates your claim. Unless of course you just made it up.

Wrong in every important respect.

A corporation will invest in R&D to create areas that they think may be a demand for. Most of the time they are correct and there is growth, higher wages and improved lives of consumers.

lol, you failed that class apparently.
 
So you admit that ObamaCare has failed, seeing as how Obama himself said the average family would see a savings of $2500 a year.

Ummm, they do save an average of $2,500 a year.

Fuck your link. People learn things over the course of their life. Perhap you shoA ratuld try to be responsible for your own learning & do your own research. Read about the most effective way to put money in the hands of those that will spend it.

Obama had a tax break for working people by utilizing employment taxes. You give a break here & then have the feds reimburse SS/Medicare. You cap it at a given income level.

Looking at those self leaked tax returns, Trump would have saved 30 Million. His elimination of the estate tax would be a 4 billion tax brerak.
 
Leftists are so economically ignorant, they don't understand tax cuts are not 'handing money to corporations', it is letting them keep more of what they earn.

Corporations currently are awash in cash and not hiring. Reducing their tax burden will change NOTHING.

They should use the money to give workers a raise so they can buy more. Tax breaks don't create jobs. You have s supply/demand economy and there's a lot of pent up demand due to wage stagnation. Increase wages, increase the spending power of the working class and kick start job creation.
