A lower tax burden will not make corporations more generous to their employees or their consumers.
It encourages economic growth.

The US have one of the highest corporate tax rates raises prices here, and encourages corporations to move overseas.

We've already seen a numerous of companies announce that will be investing additional capital into the US because of Trump's economic plans of reducing regulation, and lowering taxes rates.

What matters is the effective rates, not the nominal rates that you cite.

Companies saying stuff to gain favors from Trump is not news. Its just the way the game is played now that we have become a more authoritarian crony capitalist society.

This! Lower taxes and less regulations means stock return increase.

aka...elites wins...Trumpites lose...your coal jobs aren't coming back

If you are in the top 10% of americans in relation to salary/income, aka the elites that both righties and lefties seem to hate, this is a big win for you especially
