What will CEOs do with that extra cash from the tax scam?

[Hutch Starskey]

What will CEOs do with that extra cash from the tax scam?

I would only ask: What business is it of yours and why do you care?

The answer is pretty obvious: Aside from Liberals hating others being left to keep THEIR OWN MONEY, it just really bugs the CRAP out of you that some people work harder and make more money than you EVER will!

Because this is being sold as a boon to the middle class. That businesses will give some of the money to its workers which simply is not true.

How is it not a boon to the middle class when nearly all of it will see an immediate tax benefit? And they should see further benefits from having a stronger and more robust jobs market? The tax reform may not be perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. Pretty bold at a time when even minor reforms are hard to come by and all of the big reforms (read: like Obamacare) have ended up being hideously bad. You know what is a REALLY bad day for the middle class? When your company folds or cuts your position or department because of a totally hostile business environment trying to survive in the most over-regulated and over-taxed market there is------ America. And for what? To support a fat, bloated, federal government? I know from personal experience having owned and run a couple of companies, have you? But I commend you on your arrogance that somehow you can prognosticate the future of what companies will and will not do!

How is it not a boon to the middle class

Really?

A $2k return to a family earning $75k is a boon?

No.

A Boon would be an extra $2k/mo.

The tax cut for corporations is permanent.

The tax cut for you is temporary.

That sounds like a good Democrat commercial in 2018. And it should be.

This is what they do with a majority.

If you had a choice to make as CEO of a large company and you caught this windfall of extra cash from your bribed GOP congress, which would you choose?

a. Use the money to hire more people (although demand for your goods and services has not increased since the middle class consumer has gotten peanuts from that borrowed treasury money)......and/or give raises to your employees......................OR

b. Use that money to either buy back your stock......and maybe use that money to further automate your company so that even LESS employees are needed (with their pesky demands for higher wages and benefits)?????????????

Ask yourself which of THOSE 2 choices you'd make.

I'm using my extra money to take my clients polar bear hunting.

Any CEO would do what's best for his company and stockholders. And there are many more choices and combinations of choices than your tiny 2 dimensional brain can think of

Why can't you get it? Its a tax scam where the rich get richer and you get the scraps Remember the last Republican boondoggle tax cut given by the republicans??? Why can't republicans learn from history? BTW your little tax cut expires, the cuts for the rich go on forever

Gnat supports giving tax refunds to Americans who do not pay any taxes...

I posted this in another thread, but it is worth posting it again...and Gnat really needs to hear it, as it directly pertains to him and his lack of understanding the tax system:



'Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this...

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The ninth would pay $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. “Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20”. Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men ? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving). The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving). The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving). The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving). The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving). The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.

“I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,“but he got $10!”

“Yeah, that's right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!” “That's true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”

“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn't get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.'


Gnat is the guy who drank for free....

Obviously it's not. If it were "best for his company and stockholders", it would have been done.
It absolutely is my business when elected officials put $1.5T on credit to make it happen, dope.

Well, only a liberal jackass, likely with little corporate experience, would come up with two such negatively slanted options. But, hey, your low info fellow dopes expect nothing less. So, kudos to you.

The middle class has most of their retirement and pension savings are invested in corporations, trillions of dollars. As shareholders they are the boss of the CEO's.

So, you're basically and OPENLY admitting that this tax scam IS designed to help CEOs............the damn nerve of these bastards calling it a "Middle Class Tax Cut".......don't you agree???....................LOL

I believe that adding $1.5T in additional debt to further enrich the already rich without a single concession from them is an incredibly heinous act.

Wouldn't it have been rather "honest" (a term that would NEVER appear in the halls of congress) if this tax scam was labeled:

"WE WILL BORROW $1.5 TRILLION SO THAT WE CAN GIVE HEFTY TAX BREAKS TO OUR RICH DONORS"???

I mean, its the fucking truth......after all.

What part of trillions of dollars the middle class has invested in corporations don't you comprehend? You libs and your hatred of corporations, you are too dishonest to admit that tax cuts that benefit businesses and corporations ALSO benefit the middle class, suck it.
