Saw a video clip this morning of a guy interviewing students at an
obviously very liberal university.

He asked them their opinions of some components of Trump's tax plan.
All responded negatively with the standard, liberal complaint that it
didn't help the middle class, etc.

So then he asked some more students the same question, describing the
same components but identified it as Bernie Sander's tax plan.

The students were all in favor of it, giving it high grades.

Then he went back to some of the students who thought it was Bernie's
plan and told them it was really Trump's plan.

Shock. "You got me", or just threw their hands up in disbelief.

Why does that matter with regard to the video?

I think the answer to Harry would have been...WHOOOOOSH!

It may be at the expense of our future also since the classic end game

make out very well either.

A perfect example of how our youth are being brainwashed and programmed by the liberal education system. There was no critical thinking happening, only taught, canned responses.

I suppose that may be what the kids do when they take over the asylum.
You will have people thinking like they did in the early 70s when they
rationalized rising inflation and double digit interest rates by
saying borrowing money is good because you will pay it back with a
highly inflated dollar. Essentially they will just monetize the debt
away and ride out the wave of inflation by demanding higher salaries.
As you say, people who actually invested that money will be the ones
taking the hit. The ones who are simply on fixed pensions with no
other income will just be broke.

Question for you: Would you prefer the creation of more and better

I do see the logic in the corporate tax rate cut when so many
companies are holding their money offshore. Those taxes still get

I think lowering corporate tax rates and lowering small business taxes
would result in a major expansion of the US economy.
There are about 28 million small businesses in the USA. If a tax cut
resulted in half of them hiring another person it would create 14
million jobs very quickly.



===

I doubt very much that the 14 million employees are out there. Many
small businesses are having difficulty hiring right now. Would
higher wages bring out more candidates? Possibly, but would they be
qualified, and what would be the effect on existing wage structures,
and what would be the effect on inflation?


Ahh. Trickle-down. What the rich claim will improve life for the lower
income groups but of course it is bull****.

A corporate tax cut isn't really trickle down at all it is simply
providing an incentive for companies to repatriate their profits
instead of holding them off shore.
Investing that money here helps everyone.

Answer for you: Trickle-down economics, which is what is under
discussion, is a myth. It's not a job creator, per se, it's just another
way for the haves to increase the distance between themselves and the
have-nots. As Wikipedia notes, "Multiple studies have found a
correlation between trickle-down economics and reduced growth, and that
higher taxes on the wealthy are linked to economic growth." It is just
another way for the wealthy to **** on the poor.
