A study??? a scientific study?????

Well then....

Unless the money makers bury cash in their backyard it is invested in businesses which employ workers and creates business start ups.

Trump has lowered the poverty rate, increased household income, increased home ownership achieved record low UE for the demographics who sufferred under obama and previous administrations.

Only brainwashed socialists believe what goes up never comes down, they defy economic gravity!

I have found it a waste of time talking to it because it deflects or starts going in circles.


Complete and utter waste of time.

1) Most CEOs on the last tax cuts or bail outs said they would use that money for stock buy backs or investing in other stocks.
2) Most stocks are now global, so that money is going out of the country to invest in other countries.
When you invest in Apple, IBM or GE, some big ones, you are investing in India, China or some other cheap labor country.

Those are the facts.

1) that’s is money going back to the economy - or trickle down for you dummies.
2) the Indians and Chinese always invest in US.

Those are facts.

If the government cannot regulate businesses, there wouldn’t be any need for lobbyists.

That’s the goal we should move towards.

What a rebuttal!!!

You complain about lobbyists all the time. Yet, when I give you a possible solution, you just duck.
