I believe in capitalism.

But bargaining for a permanent tax increase in the hopes that the stock prices go higher ad infinitum is a fools wager.

I believe the corporate tax reduction is permanent.

If you are indeed a pilot then you are in a union. This makes claims of being a capitalist kinda susceptible.

Tax rates decrease.

The answer is to change the deductibility of corporate debt for tax purposes- companies borrow to fund tax buybacks to inflate the share prices for the vested shares held by executives; and waste money on ego driven M&A.

If the tax laws made corporate debt punitive, companies would need to practice sound governance to expand-and find the expansions by using shares. In that case share prices would more closely represent enterprise value rather than froth and bubbles.
