Historical Corporate Tax Rates In America:
((The U.S. corporate income-tax rate is also not high by historic standards. The statutory corporate tax rate has gradually been reduced from over 50 percent in the 1950s to its current 35 percent. The current U.S. corporate tax rate does not appear to be impeding corporate profits. Jun 4, 2013))
When American Corporate Tax Rates Were At Their Highest- America Prospered Like No Other Nation. WHY? Because Corporations "had to" INVEST IN AMERICA, to have access to the deductions that lowered their tax, but lowering their taxes by this means, also stimulated "business investments" in America !!! It also supported "Union Wages and Benefits"... and companies made profits at levels that "Business in America Was Stable", Companies Expanded Their Operations and they Hired Employees.
Their profit was so good, they invested in global outreach !!!
When Taxes were reduced, the incentive to "invest in American, the incentive to "Build and Expand", and the incentive to "Support Unions", and the incentive to "Hire People" ... vanished...
Check the chart for yourself- and consider the period when America's Growth and Development was greatest, is when the taxes were high for Corporations https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/02corate.pdf
Corporations took that profit windfall of lower taxes and moved that money "off shore", and accelerated their investment in setting up shop on Foreign Soils. Their excuse to the people is: Its not cost effective to produce in America!!!
Heck, Trump follows that ideal, because he produces nothing he slaps his name on in America!!! and he has a history of not paying the taxes he owes.
Couple that madness with the Corporate Mentality, that detested the Civil Rights Act, because they knew it would mean jobs for Minorities and Women... and in a "White Male Dominated America" of that Era... They would do anything to ensure there is no path to Middle Class Life for Minorities and Women on a Economic Equilibrium with White Males. The lower the rate became the more companies closed in America and the more money was moved Off Shore... and the less and less there was an avenue for Minorities and Women to gain Economic Parity with the "White Male Dominated System".
People don't want to tie the dots together to see the picture, because many even thought they can't discern it or won't discern it... a great mass of white society, did not and there are still many who do not want to relinquish "white privilege" in order to support "Full Circle Equality". Poor White and those working poor whites who had not achieved middle class standards by this time, 'were and are considered as nothing more than acceptable collateral damage", there are the right wingers "claiming they were left behind".... they were used to keep racist madness spinning in general society, while the wealthy "amassed fortune to the tune, they are no longer just "millionaires", they count their money now in 10's, 100's of millions and 10's of Billions... and they are not going to give "one penny' to the poor whites who claim they are the forgotten.. and definitely not when these same group of poor and uneducated whites are too valuable to the wealthy in the wealthy's aim to CONTINUE to use them to promote "racist madness"... while the wealthy turn Democracy into a Nation that is fast becoming a Plutocracy. Trump Played them, and he did it with the blessing of the Republican Party and its System and in doing so, hoodwinked the the same poor white and working poor whites to endorse "Giving the Wealthy an even lower Tax Rate... so the wealthy can continue to repeat the cycle.. of hiding money, and investing in any country they can find slave wage labor.
These poor white and working poor white people who relish the history of white priviledge... are desperate to cling to that want.
((...for those who claim there is no white privilege, or want to pretend they don't know what it is, here's a link that might help you understand: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1186576 ))
They are like LBJ said:
"President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
As long as people are content to just make jokes, the conversations of the truth will never circulate within the mass of society.
America has many people with limited education, where it lacking from being in school or lacking from self research to learn, and the truly sad part is... its not just among the Republican Ranks of the Population, it is too, among the Democrat's Ranks of the Population.
Even in society today, people can quote professors, or cite some poet's they learned about... but when it comes to promoting dialog with dialog... we can see vividly in this site, there is a mass of 'one liner" slap stick comments as if that's the default manner of interacting in a forum. Habits become Habits.... !!!
Everything about Trump's Tax Cut Plan,
was to play on the same game that was historically played when Taxes were Cut... and this
also means...Cut Public Programs, Destroy Government Agencies that Support Public Programs, Environmental Programs, and Launch an incessant attack upon every element of Government Panels that support and promote Regulatory Governance.
People have to look back and learn... The Confederacy, was not a system that cared to pay fair wages and certainly it was not going to invest any penny in public services programming. Because the Plutocrats of that System, were the law makers and policy makers and their own policy concerns were based on further enriching themselves, and maintain a system of "
indenturing people !!!! to the extremes of supporting slavery.
It's WAKE UP TIME... its time to actually promote dialog that society can again, be motivated to think and interactively talk...
"Interactively talking" is what launched every movement by the people that has every taken place in America. people need the dialog to inspire information that can promote "''interactively talking" ....
