Trump says "growth" will pay for the tax cuts... and here is how!

That graph needs to go back up and not remain stagnant.
 
I am referring Only to the One Percent. Why do they, need a tax break?

So what do you think the "one percent" do with their money?
Ah... I bet you think they bury it in their back yard or under their mattress?
Really come on.
What do they do with their capital gains?
More importantly though you keep referring to paying MORE tax money. Why?
Are you that uninformed about the gigantic waste known as the Federal Government?
Here are some uses of that tax money that is being spent and frankly I prefer what these "one percenters" do with their profits!
1. The National Institute of Health’s Center for Alternative and Complimentary Medicine spent $387,000 to study the effects of Swedish massages on rabbits.
2. The Department of Interior spent $10,000 to monitor the growth rate of saltmarsh grass. In other words, the government is paying people to watch grass grow. On the bright side, they have not started paying people to watch paint dry.
3. The National Science Foundation has granted more than $200,000 to a research project that is trying to determine how and why Wikipedia is sexist. Wikipedia’s War on Woman
4. The National Institute of Health funded a study to see if mothers love dogs as much as they love kids. Regardless of the results, this experiment cost taxpayers $371,026.
5. The federal government has granted $804,254 for the development of a smartphone game called “Kiddio: Food Fight.” The game is intended to teach parents how to convince their children to try and eat new healthier food choice.
6. The National Endowment for the Humanities has provided $47,000 for undergraduate classes that teach students about laughing and humor.
7. The National Science Foundation spent $856,000 to teach mountain lions how to walk on treadmills as part of a research project whose aim was to better understand mountain lions’ instincts.

Top 7 Wackiest Examples of Wasteful Government Spending from Wastebook 2014

I'm more inclined to allow people that want to "INVEST" their money than have it wasted on teaching mountain lions how to walk on a treadmill!
We have massive debt and no Jobs Boom to help create a more vibrant middle class, to help pay for it.

NOT one response to the gigantic waste of spending by the federal government in the past.
Thanks though to Trump's basic understanding that you get paid if you perform we're seeing some cultural changes in D.C.
Now as far as a "jobs boom"...
Again... here is reality..
About 5.5 million Americans are not in the labor force — and so not counted among the unemployed —
but still want a job now, up from 4.3 million before the recession, the Labor Department says. Simply put, Van Horn says, the occasional job searches by those laid off in the downturn creates more competition for jobs among the long-term unemployed.
Yet a growing number of companies that had been reluctant to bring on the long-term unemployed are more willing to offer them temporary jobs initially or training, says Paul McDonald, senior executive director of staffing firm Robert Half.
Out of work for six months or more? Here's why you can't find a job

5.5 million Americans.. that want a job but because of the above, can't find them.
NOW with corporate taxes cut from 35 to 15% employers have a little more leeway in making hiring
mistakes. With repeal of Obamacare that employer who hesitated to hire the 50th employee will hire!
After all the employer makes more money when more products are made...right?
I put this up before and it evidently was too complicated for you!

Did you know, you can stop hiccups on a dog, with massage?

And, if you really want to cut the waste, end the drug war.

Since YOU NEVER back up your opinion with substantive response, I didn't believe your "hiccups" comment.
But you are right. How to Stop Dog Hiccups and fortunately for lazy people like you you have me to do a very simple search to prove it.
I'll go one better. Stop the war on Poverty!
This war has cost $22 Trillion!
In his January 1964 State of the Union address, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed, “This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America.” In the 50 years since that time, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs. Adjusted for inflation, this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all U.S. military wars since the American Revolution.

Now as far as the "War on Drugs" cost?
War on drugs a trillion-dollar failure
Here we are, four decades after Richard Nixon declared the war on drugs in 1971 and $1 trillion spent since then. What do we have to show for it?
The U.S. has the largest prison population in the world, with about 2.3 million behind bars. More than half a million of those people are incarcerated for a drug law violation. What a waste of young lives.

Opinion: War on drugs a trillion-dollar failure - CNN.com

Which one has cost Americas MORE???? Maybe that's a too complicated question for you. Here let me help you!
$22 Trillion on the war on poverty
$ 1 Trillion on the war on Drugs.
21 Trillion MORE spent on War on Poverty initiated by who else a Democrat!

I really want to cut WASTE... end the war on Poverty!!!
Both terms, promote and provide are used in regard to the general welfare, but not the common defense.

And, your point is moot since we have the richest poor in the World, with our Best form of Socialism; the right habitually complains about it.

Our drug war creates statistics, for our war on poverty.

Why? In the below graph is the percent of the (adult civilian noninstitutional) population who are working (top line), not working and do not want/need a job now (middle line), and those who are not working and say they want a job, including those who aren't available and/or aren't looking (bottom line).

If the drop in percent employed is matched mostly by an increase in those who don't want a job, then there's no issue....people who want jobs are getting them.
