When a Corp buys back some of it’s shares, that mean that the Dividends that they pay out will be reduced. That extra profit will be available for expansion. With lower Corp taxes from Trump’s plan, they can open more stores, etc. That means MORE JOBS !!! Why cannot any person in the media understand this???

I'm not sure. Why can people not understand that a company does not expand for the sake of expansion? They will expand only if there is an increase in demand for their goods or services that justifies it, and the tax cut alone will not result in that.

You can watch a Q and A of Gerard Baker and Gary Cohn. Reporter asks the audience[CEO's in room] if they have more capital investment. Not many raise hands. Cohn nervously laughs it off and ponders why not more hands go up.
