We watched that black guy with the un-American name tell our top two-thirds to go **** themselves while rolling out the red carpet for our lowest grade for eight long years. This is awesome to watch.

I agree.

But, can we stop using the communist "trickle down" nickname for capitalism, please. Thanks.

It isn't trickle down. Trickle down is giving money to Jpe Moneybags who will give it to the poor. This is the reverse of trickle down. The worker is getting money directly that s/he earns, and not having to get it through an agency.

Haha...I love using it only because it causes LefTards to piss themselves when they hear it.

"Trickle-down economics, also referred to as trickle-down theory, is an economic theory that advocates reducing taxes on businesses and the wealthy in society as a means to stimulate business investment in the short term and benefit society at large in the long term."

Century Link has been having problems with inept management. The market as a whole has gone up 10%, Cntury link has gone down 31%

Hey Loser did you ever consider that it would have been better to just let REAL AMERICANS pocket that money instead of corporations throwing breadcrumbs at them?

Corporations now pocket billions more (correspondingly increasing out national debt), throw a tiny fraction of that as a one time bonus and tools like you get pants full of happy.

Corporations now pocket an average of about 14%, indefinitely.

Middle class? Just a few % more and even that will expire in 2025.

Why do you like being duped?

It means their after-tax income went up by 14% on average.

If At&T made 8 billion taxable profit and paid 2 billion in taxes it pocketed 6 billion. Now lets say they pay 1 billion less in taxes, so now they pocket 7 billion which is 16% more.

The horror.

 

[Markle]

Your star news announcer, Rachel Maddow made a grandstand expose of releasing two whole pages of what undoubtedly was hundreds of pages showing President Trump paid $38 million in taxes.

Personally, I can't see that it makes any difference in the world if he paid or legally did not pay and income taxes since that year.

As Hillary Clinton said, "What difference does it make"?

It means you're bad at math.

If At&T made 8 billion taxable profit and paid 2 billion in taxes it pocketed 6 billion.

If they made $8 billion, they paid $2.8 billion and pocketed $5.2 billion.
Now they'll pay $1.68 billion and pocket $6.32 billion.
Their after tax income went up by 21.5%.

Idiot, you just said that I'm 100% correct - corporations making out like bandits out of this while middle class gets a tiny slice. The numbers were illustrative.

No, your math was wrong....you're not 100% correct. Moron.

"Real" Americans are "managers"?

Are you insane?

Companies will have to increase some wages. That always happens when unemployment drops below 5% and educated workers in certain fields are scarce.

Employers don't want those workers to leave. For obvious reasons.

In fact, where I worked before I retired, several engineers complained they weren't paid enough and told management they would leave if they didn't get a good raise. Management told them to go ahead and leave if they felt they could make more someplace else. One didn't even give two weeks. He found another job, was hired on Wednesday and left on Friday. He told him if he wasn't that valuable, then there wasn't any reason to stay the two weeks people normally give.

The engineering department was thrown into chaos and that manager was eventually fired.

But as far as unskilled labor, which is the vast bulk of the GOP, they will never get raises. Why? They haven't enough value. And by Republicans cutting education and job training, those people without education will never have much value. The GOP has sold them empty boxes and hot air.
