In fact, most corporate leaders queried have said they plan to use
the cuts to further enrich themselves, buy back their stock, and
payoff their shareholders.

Bull****. The only "corporate leaders" who would say that are the
liberals who want to discredit anything that Republicans do. They are the
blood-sucking leeches on society.

You're one lying sack-o-****, krause.

Indeed, the Republicans are the blood-sucking leeches on society. The
rich, in their opinion, don't control enough of the nation's
wealth...they want it all. There have been several focus groups of
corporate leaders and also surveys...and the overwhelming majority have
no plans to build new factories, add lots of new hires, or raise wages.

Here's one such article:

"Major companies including Cisco Systems Inc., Pfizer Inc. and Coca-Cola
Co. say they’ll turn over most gains from proposed corporate tax cuts to
their shareholders, undercutting President Donald Trump’s promise that
his plan will create jobs and boost wages for the middle class."

There are many such articles.

Here's one from Forbes, well-known liberal publication.

Poor little JackOff...knows nothing, proud of it.

The purpose of a business, any business, is to generate profits for
the owners. Even you should know that from your failed attempts at
being successful. As a by product, increased profits can be spent on
business expansion, research and development, plant modernization, or
returned to shareholders (owners). All of that benefits the overall
economy sooner or later.

Increased wages are a function of supply and demand, nothing else.

Harry is a Marxist.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"
Profits, losses and market share are foreign concepts to him.
If the government ran everything, distributing the proceeds equally to
everyone regardless of actual contribution they make to the
enterprise, he would be happy ... right up until they went the way of
the Soviets and the South American communists.

There you go again. My comment was that the tax cuts were only going to
make the rich richer. It has nothing to do with marxism.

And Richard pointed out the things you talked about enrich the
stockholders, most of whom are not really rich. They are pensioners
and 401k holders.

I depend on my dividends to live a nice life.
