Provide means giving hand outs, promote means using policies to promote the welfare of the citizens of this country. Trading with slave labor, Communist and Dictator Countries does the opposite.
"Promote" well-being all you want. It does NOT mean confiscating money from some to give to others. Period.

So, why support globalists instead of Trump?

And you need to go back to second grade to read what I posted on the Constitution.
I will post this 100,000 times and make this into a 200 page thread until you get it into your thick head.

I read it. What you FAIL to understand is that "provide" and "promote" mean different things. How can you be so dense?

That doesn't address the shortage or explain the reality. Consumers didn't get a price cut that matched the tax cut. Individual taxpayers aren't paying more to offset the reduction in corporate tax receipts. The deficit is well over $ 1 trillion.

By that same stupid slogan, corporations don't pay heating bills, electricity, or the cost of materials or labor. It also fails and becomes a circular argument since 41 percent of the economy is dependent on government spending and government can then be substituted for both sides of the equation (corporation and consumer).

Now you are just being a troll.


We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare.

No, welfare does mean handouts

Also why the focus on the CEO who are just another employee. The owners are enriched by all of you. You really should chastise yourself.

Everybody in modern world buys stuff. There is little choice unless you have significant land holdings with lot raw materials. And little of that is made by some boutique craftsman harvesting raw materials from the natural world.



BUT you are ignoring corporate subsidies from GOVERNMENT that taxes us peons to get that money!!!!!!!



WHY AM I TAXED to give government subsidies to these super profitable corporations? Cant they stand on their own? Do they have such a poor business model they cant survive without subsidies and tax breaks? Dont you think they should be self supporting without subsidies and tax breaks that the rest of us dont get?



YOU SHOULD CHASTISE YOURSELF for being an apologist for corporations and not for an even playing field.

That's a myopic interpretation. If the cost of production and/or delivery of services increases, the actualization of a corporate tax cut will be significantly less. Anyone who's ever owned a business, etc., knows this.

That is actually 100% true. their clients/customers pay for that.

I know that "provide" and "promote" actually have two different meanings. Why don't you? Inferior education?
