Obviously, this tax bill is just to get their masters and donors off their backs and nothing is going to stop it because even the moderate republicans are scared of losing their donations because without those they'll get destroyed in 2018 by trump supporters coming out against them to vote in people who love Trump like a cult loves it's leader.

That is what had historically happened when corporate rates are cut. We do need to lower our corporate taxes, but those cuts need to be balanced by tax hikes on things like cap gains and dividends

Nobody believes this job creation bullshit except for republican voters who are convinced giving more money to corporations and rich people will benefit them.

This topic is more important than Trumps racist shit-tweeting. Both are pretty bad though.

We do need to lower our corporate taxes, but those cuts need to be balanced by tax hikes on things like cap gains and dividends tbh i worry that these cuts are allowing stock markets to inflate to insane P/E ratios that make no sense to buy if the tax cut bill fails for some reason you can expect the stock market to go into freefall it's entirely dependent on the expected tax cuts which are already priced in that is not a good way to let the market run. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

The saddest thing in all of this is that there are people who actually think this is a good move despite being poor as shit. The rich just keep making more money without any of that positively affecting the ever shrinking middle america and especially not the poor.
