Didn't a company in Oregon do this? Then failed miserably?"You know what you could actually do with this money? You could give anyone making under $75,000 a raise."
Flawed logic. How is she going to give someone a raise when she doesn't employ them? Cutting taxes for private sector allows the company more room to invest in their employees.
Yup cut the tax breaks to the companies , lose your job in the huge layoffs... collect your 6k , unemployment, EBT card, all at the same time , if you your lucky .
What's interesting is you guys have no difficulty recognizing that non-tariff taxes are bad for business and result in unemployment, but you completely abandon this view when it comes to tariff taxes. It's so weird.
[sigh] President Trump may have signed the tax bill, but it was Congress which passed it. Congress, people. Not a single Congress has shown any inkling of fiscal responsibility in decades. They crow that the economy is booming, unemployment is low, and yet, Federal deficits are growing at an increasing rate. Voodoo economics, folks.
Trickle down has always been nonsense. The Dems "pay go" was nonsense, smoke & mirrors hiding structural deficits. Whoever winds up in the next Congress, whatever party they're from, demand that they give the American public an honest accounting. Demand that they set aside both parties' folderol and be fiscally responsible.
It doesn't matter if your red, blue, libertarian, or socialist. Everyone should agree that Congress perform their principal duty responsibly. Find unity in this. March in the streets for this. Occupy the Capitol for this. It's our future. It's our tax dollars, and like it or not, it's our debt.

I'll say it again - if tariff's are a negotiating tool to get to freer trade I'm fine with them for a limited period of time. If they are the new normal to protect some industries at the expense of others then I'm against them. So far, they have been positioned as the former and we see the result in several new trade deals being completed. We shall see when it comes to China.
