Associated Press

Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a recent interview that President Trump’s tax plan would result in a faster-growing economy and greater job creation.

In an interview with ABC News, Cook discussed a number of recent announcements by Apple, including their plan to invest $350 billion in the U.S. economy over the next five years and how President Trump’s tax plan will help the U.S. economy. Cook refused to “take a position” on how the new tax plan will affect individual Americans but commented on the corporate tax saying, “I do believe the corporate side will result in job creation and a faster growing economy.” Cook added that under Obama’s tax plan, the $38 billion tax payment the company plans to make as part of repatriating offshore cash would not have been paid.

Apparently on taxes, he does. Cook's been lobbying for this for years.

Thank God for President Trump. Under Obama, there would be ever-higher taxes on fewer working Americans but a stronger Chinese economy. Under Hillary, there would be a crashed economy and riots in the streets. With President Trump, we win, win, win.

Credit where due. When Trump talked about making I phones in the US during that campaign, I just considered it to be an example. Never thought it would literally happen!

When a hard left-wing company like Apple says this lie-berals have to pay attention.

During Trump’s speech in PA today he said he called Tim Cook and thanked him. Very happy call for Trump to make.

One company will make a $38 billion payment, increase to the treasury.

Wonder what we’re talking here, half to one trillion dollars over the next couple of years. More?

Trillions of freed up funds being invested by companies on our shores for a change...

Wow!

Now if only we could fix the school system in order to teach American kids more skills. They're going to need skills to go along with the new jobs being created. That'll stop Obama from saying "You didn't make that...". I want Americans to say "We built that, and that, and ...".

There is good news on the education front too.

Common Core IS OUT at the Department of Education.

Hopefully we’re going back to sound teaching principles.

This booming economy should also be an opportunity for dissatisfied employees to look for greener pastures.
Happy job hunting y’all.
