If the monied and elite cannot create jobs now with their wealth

[Stargazer99]

what makes you think more tax breaks will bring more jobs? Just think a moment, now they are putting their monies in off shore accouts, buying their own stock, etc and you really think giving them more money will create jobs? Maybe a few but it is time these "patriotic" world businesses start giving a damn about the country that allowed them to become well-off. I think they owe it to the American working class and the US. Maybe this worship of Capitalism uncontrolled is evil

1. Well, since there is not a shred of evidence that trickle down works, and mountains of

evidence to the contrary, expect practically the entire GOP to EMBRACE more trickle down.

It is tribalism, details be damned.

If liberals are for something they will ALWAYS be against it. and so on

6. This is the real truth.

Supply side economics has never and will never work.

2. The creating jobs meme is just there to hide the fact that the right only cares about the rich.

Just empty words meaning nothing.

The one per centers continue to increase their share of wealth while the middle class and blue collar workers endure more erosion of compensation and benefits. It's not right and Trump is trying to push things in the wrong direction, helping his wealthy cronies and himself.

7. By this

while the middle class and blue collar workers ensure more erosion of compensation and benefits.

do you mean GOP voters voting against their own survival?

8. No, it was a typo

"endure" became "ensure" due to the slip of a finger!

9. OK, works both ways actually.

As many of us who know what is going on, that many have no clue and actually believe a plan created by a known greedy asshole wannabe billionaire is good for them.

Or, they will say "it is not fair to make the rich pay more, they already pay too much as it is!"

Then you need to educate them as to HOW they got roads, bridges, universities, inventions, creations, military, all education and so on.

That all exists due to an aggressive, yet now all but gone, PROGRESSIVE tax system. They dont know this, they have no sense of history or math.

11. Right

Anyone who believes that "trickle down" works has been duped. Big time!

4. The next step will be negative tax rates for the rich ....

the government will just give them more money.

5. Its easy to understand.

It’s the same strategy as the guy who wants to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.

Republican politics 101.

10. If there is any jobs created they won't come with a living wage and

they're certainly not going to raise wages

[Hortensis]

12. But no one thinks that here, Stargazer. Maybe go preach

to Republicans and see if you convert someone to rationality?

[Stargazer99]

15. And you think all Demos are immune to the BS?

[Hortensis]

16. Tragically far from. The stars are aligned for the seditious

extremist billionaires who've taken control of the Republican Party, and they are moving on the takeover they've been plotting for decades now.

All scales should be removed from all eyes as what the Republican Party has become steals elections, leaves Puerto Rico to die, takes healthcare away from children, uses the justice department to prevent justice, and does "tax reform" to engineer the by far biggest theft of taxpayer dollars in history.

But right now there's a thread right here on DU full of eager people claiming how much they'd love to dump both the Republican and the Democratic parties and move to a third party.

Because no one could deceive them into believing their shiny new party was corrupt and worthless, could they? And if you'll believe that, you'll believe that all those who went there would get brain transplants with the transfer and be clueless idiots no longer.

13. They will put the money where it can get the biggest return.

Often that does not involve building factories and creating more jobs in the U.S.

Jobs are created only when there is growing demand for a product or service. Giving even more money to corporations and the already super-rich does nothing to stimulate demand, except perhaps on a very limited scale. I don't know why some people are unable to grasp that concept.

14. If the stock market is at an all time high

Then why do those companies need a tax break?
