Why did the corporate tax cuts fail?

The average American worker sees a 0.2% fatter paycheck

View attachment 304774

Wow! That guy really doesn't understand the data.

Wage growth going from 3.5% to 3.7% does not mean "The average American worker sees a 0.2% fatter paycheck"
But it does show how weak wage growth has been.

Yes, Obama had really, really weak wage growth.
It was in all the papers.
As does trump.

3.7% in December looks pretty good.
Only .2 better than when he took office and really low relative to unemployment rate. Did he promise an increase?


So, how does this fiat currency system work? You want to be seen as some kind of cyber expert on economical issues......stop hiding your light under a bushel tree and educate us on this fiat, debt based currency system....

It appears to have grown more with Obama . And clearly the trend started with Obama. No tax cut bump visible. You make this very easy, but your spin is a waste of time.

In which years under Obama did it grow more than under Trump?

You make this very easy, but your spin is a waste of time.

Pointing out your inability to read a graph is hardly spin. Or a waste of time.

LOL!
The tax cut was passed in December 2017.
Wage growth went from 2.9% in December 2017 to 3.9% in November 2018.
It hasn’t hit 3.9 In a very long time. You have some imagination.

It hasn’t hit 3.9 In a very long time.

November 2018 and again in July 2019.
Click on the link, move your cursor over the graph.
The increasing trend started in 2010 long before the cuts.

I know, 3.9% after the cuts.
Up from what?
 
Wage growth is simply poor.


But wages are nothing to boast about. As the first chart shows, wage growth has ticked up only slightly under Trumponomics. The average American worker sees a 0.2% fatter paycheck (not factored in for inflation) compared to the day Trump was sworn into office in January, 2017.

You Loons are downright fascinating....
”Give us every wetback from Mexico that’s looking for a better life and DAMNIT Father Government give us higher wages as well.”
Do you ignorant fools realize how ignorant that sounds?
Yeah expecting wages to increase with low unemployment is real ignorant. You don’t know much about economics eh?

Low unemployment has little to do with wage values when much of the workforce and job offerings are comprised of brainless people and duties. You’ve manifested an underground underclass of degenerates whom don’t even speak the native language...the numbers are in the tens of millions...What other nation could we drop tens of millions of desperate degenerates in without destroying the low to middle wage sector?
So you don’t understand economics obviously.
 
Those of us living in reality can now say that the corporate tax cuts were a failure that hurt revenue and did nothing for the economy. So the question is why? I think it likely has to do with the fact so many of our corporations are near monopolies. Curious what others think.

Trump handed big business a massive tax cut, and all he got in return was embarrassment

Two years after his administration passed a massive tax cut for corporations meant to spur economic growth, the verdict is in, and the results are embarrassing. The tax cuts did not "unleash animal spirits" (as the business media is so fond of saying). And it did not usher in a period of 3% GDP growth(as Trump's administration was so fond of echoing).

The plan did not — by any stretch of the imagination — "pay for itself with growth and reduced deductions," as Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said it would back in 2017. In fact, the US budget deficit has grown by 50% since Trump took office.







Tax cuts for big business and the wealthy never, ever help the economy. Tax cuts don't create jobs. Tax cuts don't raise wages for the working people of this nation.

All tax cuts do is explode the deficit and debt and make big business and the filthy rich, even more filthy rich.

Nope
None of that is factual
Sure didn't help this time.




All of what I posted was factual. I left out some facts too.

Tax cuts encourage business to take our jobs to other nations. Tax cuts increases the wage gap. Tax cuts keeps wages low. Tax cuts cause higher prices for goods and services.

There is nothing good about tax cuts especially when we have record deficit and debt.

No one and no business should ever get a tax cut while our budget deficit and national debt are at record highs.

The responsible thing to do is to balance the budget and pay off debt before anyone gets any tax cut.

You are spectacularly stupid
And factually wrong.

Bring in the Democrats and Liberals and really watch the deficit soar. It’s not like your side plans to cut spending..... just raise taxes for the State.
I’m an independent. You didn’t come close to answering the question, trump really made deficits soar btw.

Trump did? Prove what this chart shows is the fault of Trump, i.e. population growth!
The only place that Trump's had any affect is "discretionary spending" of 30% of the budget...which the largest is military spending.

He flattened revenue and increased spending. It’s pretty obvious.

As it applies to incorporated entities/subsidiaries of USA.INC? Revenue = Theft via taxes

  • Private payrolls rose by 291,000 in January, the best month since May 2015, according to ADP and Moody’s Analytics.
Private payrolls soar in January, the best monthly gain in nearly 5 years

These are NOT government jobs... private businesses hiring people.
Millions of Americans are being informed they're being dropped from their insurance plans because the plans don't meet minimum Obamacare standards, but President Obama so far has stood by his promise that "if you have insurance that you like, then you will be able to keep that insurance."How Obamacare will change employer-provided insurance

So when anyone reads the attached there should be no question that Obama hated capitalism, hated Americans that worked, hated businesses.

Trump’s Deficits Are Racing Past Obama’s

President Obama entered office in early 2009 in the teeth of the Great Recession. Not surprisingly, the deficit exploded from $459 billion in calendar 2008 to over $1.4 trillion in calendar 2009. As the economy recovered the deficits shrank to a low of $442 billion in 2015 and was $585 billion his last year in office.

President Trump on the other hand was handed an economy that was growing. In 2017, his first year in office the deficit grew to $666 billion, was $984 billion last year and is projected to be over $1 trillion in 2020 at $1.02 trillion. This would be a 74% increase in just four years and going forward the Federal deficit could escalate to $1.7 trillion in 2030.

You can’t grow an economy on a credit card. Remember how much flack Obama took from Republicans over debt?

and now, suddenly, debt doesn’t matter? Is that because Trump calls himself the chosen one?

can somebody explain it? where it make sense?

Prove me wrong.

If you don't have a source that shows Obama had average real wage growth of 4.2%, just say so.

Your own graph bears that out.

You can admit you have no source. I'll understand.

Asshole ignorant Libtards are too stupid to know that the corporations are the entities that drive economic prosperity that generates the wealth that funds their filthy ass welfare state.
70% of the GDP is related to consumer spending.
Consumers drive economic prosperity. There's no profit without customers. There's no demand when the bulk of consumers have no cash. Growth will be slow with low demand regardless of capital investment.
And democrats say that unemployment stimulates the US economy

That would depend on wages. No?
If a guy goes from a fulltime job to Uber driver then no. Our "jobs" are turning into delivery drivers for rich folks.
Only if you're unmotivated and stupid.

Yet those jobs continue to grow.
Would you rather have them on welfare?

How did the tax cuts “fail”?
You realize your fellow citizen Americans own these evil corporations you hate...right?
Your fellow Americans ended with more and your corrupt government ended up with less...how is that a bad thing?
Why would you want your government to take more from your neighbor?

Some Americans own stock. About 50% of Americans have no investment in the market so right off the bat, half the country is excluded from this benefit. Of the people that do one stock, 84% of it is owned by the top 10% of Americans.

So this benefit was highly skewed.

You weird Leftists harbor a very weird obsession with other people’s shit, holdings and achievements. You always seem to forget that opportunity is created by those who aggressively pursue it.
Wealth, like achievements is accumulated from intelligence, hard work, accountability, determination and ambition....all traits the Left hates.
Remember, we are not EQUALS...you can not and will not ever be my EQUAL....you have been grossly misled by your fellow beggars.

Im not saying we are all equals. I’m saying that the actions taken by the Trump administration are disproportionality beneficial to the wealthiest. Remember, he is adding a trillion dollars of PUBLIC debt to achieve these benefits. It’s not irrational to look at the outcome of such policies.

One other problem. I don’t believe people who don’t achieve wealth are unintelligent, that they’re not hard working or not ambitious. I feel that the people who do work hard, follow the rules and don’t necessarily achieve wealth for all sorts of reasons shouldn’t be excluded from living a good life.
