At least chain store companies are adding on after Trump's tax cuts. 5 Below is getting ready to open a store in my town. Everything $1 to $5. Dozens of new jobs.

It's the definition of insanity. A lot of that goes on in Las Vegas at the slot machines.

For many , Obamacare mandates and the fake tax cuts have created a real life hunger games. Pay for food shelter and clothing for your family and be financially ruined by the IRS, or pay the health insurance company for nothing. There isn't enough left over to even actually use the health services you already paid for. And when you do, there isn't enough money for the next months premium.
Maybe it s population control.


Remember who the real enemy is and vote them out 2018, and 2020.
I agree. That means we need to vote out BOTH parties.

Why do you think the Tax cuts are responsible?


Up to 2011, Five Below was centered in Pennsylvania. They then began a rather remarkable expansion program.


Here is a link to Business Insider from May 2015:




Five Below Is Taking Over Teen Retail - Business Insider


"The chain has 366 locations, up from just 82 in 2008, according to a recent report by Morgan Stanley."


Wait, whom became President in January 2009, during an economic recession?


And:


https://www.phillymag.com/business/2...ness-strategy/


An article dated January 4, 2017:


"Since 2008, the growth has been self-funded — and steady. In the spring of 2012, just before Five Below made its initial public offering, the company had 192 stores in 16 states. Since that time, it’s nearly tripled in size. Today the company has 523 stores in 31 states, with 1,500 full-time employees (including 200 at its corporate headquarters in Philly) and 6,100 part-time employees."


So, you post a photograph of one store opening, and credit Mr. Trump's tax cut?

Marco Rubio: Corporations aren't investing tax cuts

This is not really a surprising revelation. In fact it was highly predictable to anyone who works in a publicly traded corporation.

What is surprising is that a Republican who takes Dark Money was willing to say it out loud in public, what was he thinking?!?!

Tax cuts come no strings attached, they can invest in Mexico or China if they want, or automate their facilities to reduce the payroll, but mostly they are doing stuff like hostile takeovers and buying back stock to artificially boost their value. All this churning - churning - churning but next to no substantive investment in the American economy.
