Nope, they are just lowering tax rates to be competitive worldwide, hence less revenue. Unless you enjoy the sucking sound of our jobs going overseas.
You really think the tax collector is the best place for corporations to invest their money?

Do you have a retirement plan you pay into? Because if you do then the stock market directly affects your retirement plan and therefore you do have a vested interest in its continued success.

Here is your quote from your previous post to a poster who did find value in the stock market:
You said:
we are discussing what is good for the country...Straight-up, the stock market rally does nothing to help them feed their family. The stock market is not the economy and hasn't been for 40 plus years now.
YOU are part of the country. YOU have retirement plans that are wholly dependent upon a strong stock market and therefore you do have a vested interest in the strength of that market.

Below is a breakdown of who the bill benefits.
IMAGINE what a boost it would have been to the economy if the GOP had placed that same emphasis on the Middle Class?
Instead they made the problem MUCH WORSE..

At what point do you begin to realize your argument is a circular one and the fact remains that the top 1% of wealth will always and forever remain in control by those at the top? You seem intelligent enough to know your argument is literally a complete waste of brain power.

Trump voters suck.
I think this is another part of the problem.
It all becomes very personal.
Its not that Trump voters suck as individuals on a personal level, its not that Trump supporters are inherently bad people its just that there is a political disagreement at play.
Its the politics of Trump voters that I think suck, not they themselves.
Yet from what I have observed, it seems that quite a lot of people on both sides of the political divide like to make this personal, when its really not necessary.
As a Trump voter, I am for more freedoms, lower taxes, smaller government, fewer regulations.
The problem with anti-Trump people is that (by default) you now place yourself on the side of bigger government, higher taxes, less freedoms, more regulations.
That's a tough ideological position to defend.
