"Here's How America's Biggest Companies Are Spending Their Tax Cuts"

You attempted to do that by making stuff up.

Ironic, huh? And childish.

 

Most voters have 401(k)'s. For the first time in years they are growing. Good luck telling them they aren't.

 

Really? The stock market has been gyrating pretty steadily since the tax bill was signed, and a it hasn't significantly increased since the first of the year.

Meanwhile, the corporations are doing exactly what the critics of the GOP tax bill said they were going to do.

Buy back stock, to drive up prices and fatten CEO and broker bonuses. Which is what the tax bill was intended to do.

Who cares what the long term consequences are. Steve Mnuchin's friends will get their big payday!

And the Trumpsters will get $25 a week, all in borrowed money!

Talk about being conned into settling for the crumbs off the table.

 

Why don't you post some links to these claims, and we can discuss that?

Regarding the OP, the flaws in the opinion of a young girl 6 months into her first real job as a journalist doesn't carry much weight in the real world.

 

Lmao, I stand corrected.

 

No, but that is the idiotic stereotype Wall Street sold you via Fox so you'd continue to believe that giving them more money would be good for you.

 

So I am making up the lies and falsehoods he tells.

 

Web is spot in.

He nailed the lib mindset. You are demonstrating it in this thread.

 

No. They are your own.

 

To that which I bolded and underlined above.

Do you really want to go on record stating you don't care how actions like Tax Reform help citizens over the long term, your complaint is that you think it only benefits the rich right now?

If that's the case, how has tax reform hurt you?

 

The idea is that if the government doesn't get the money, then it never gets spent. You know, the rich never pay for anything or go anywhere or start any new companies or expand their existing companies. And if they keep their money, that means the poor lose their money. Only government spends everything it receives, and then some.

 

Hookers gotta get paid too. Do you think hookers aren't working hard for the money. Sounds like more jobs being created. Oh, but those "jobs" are under the tables and not taxed right?

 

SOP today, attack the messenger ignore the message.

 

And when they run out of those types of workers? Where do you think they get trained? At the bottom. When the trained workers move up, guess that bottom spot is opened to a new employee right?

 

Do you not considered the half truths as lies by Obama? I never heard Trump promise me something that he cant produce, unlike Obama. Yes, Trump has lied, everyone does. Why are you so upset about how Trump lies about his hands being so yuge?

 

don't buy their products if you don't like their behavior

 

I haven't ignored the message. In fact, I posted a link and passages that counter the opinion offered by the young woman.

However, I do think it's germane to the conversation to point out the "journalist" who wrote the article and offered opinions about the topic is only 6 months into their first real job. I could have gone further to point out she has no background in economics, and her degree is in journalism.

 

401Ks don't include dividend payments, it is current stockholders who reap the benefits

 

Nothing, and still doesn't, and now the rest of us will have to make up the difference in revenues lost

 

You do know stocks are investments for more companies to be started or expand right? They are also for retirement plans. Not to mention its a way insurance companies gain the revenue they use to pay for their customers who make claims right? The money paid to insurance companies don't just sit in a vault waiting to be paid out, they are invested in stocks and mutual funds so the companies don't go broke spending more than what was given in premiums.

 

Lol, you are a true Trumper. Talk about can't see the forest for the trees.

 

What lost revenues, and how will you make it up? Be specific.

 

the same thing from 15 yrs ago when bush jr cut taxes. it is a ridiculous concept.

 

I think workers today, given the snails pace of personal income growth and increase of personal debt, would rather have higher wages now than promises of an increased benefit down the road. In addition, given that most would have to use it as discretionary income, it would be reinvested in the economy quicker

The article is once again an opinion piece promoting supply side economics, waiting for that trickle down sometime in the future

 

But the more you have in the bigger the dividend, you do the math
