Topic	Major Corporations say they will turn most gains from tax cuts to shareholders
The Admiral 11/29/17 3:14:42 PM #47:	mario2000 posted... The Admiral posted... mario2000 posted... The Admiral posted... What exactly do you expect corporations to do with their profits? They have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize value for shareholders. Hiring employees to grow the business is the best way to do that if there is a market opportunity. But if there isn't, they distribute the profits back as dividends. It's almost like this is the very problem we're discussing. You're confusing "problem" with "something you don't like." So you're fine with allowing corporations to pay less and less for increasingly larger slices of the pie? What are you talking about? What I'm fine with is the ineffectual government getting less money, since they don't spend it particularly well. Here's what will happen with the increased profits: 1. Companies will expand hiring if there is an opportunity for growth 2. Companies will invest in addition capital projects/assets, with the goal of increasing size or improving productivity 3. Firms will distribute profits to shareholders, who will then reinvest them into other companies or investment classes If you were expecting charity for workers, that was always a problem with your comprehension. --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:891280606] in Major Corp...
