I knew that from Day 1 the proponents of this massive cut in corporate taxes were lying about it would provide a boom in hiring and investment. I have zero faith in today's corporate leaders. They are only concerned about stock buy backs. I could tell you personally at my Fortune 500 company, a minuscule amount of the tax windfall went to workers, a bigger slice went to the company's charitable foundation, and 99% went into stock buy backs.

the economy is growing well and unemployment is at its lowest level in 60 years. Much of the reason for that were trump’s corporate tax cuts. Which incidentally did not hurt tax revenues.

I have zero faith in this Reuters article which is based on ... what? polling? Come on.

Better to look at economic data, unemployment, GDP, etc

So what about small and midsized businesses that weren’t surveyed?

I’m not buying what they are selling here.

There was a massive economic reaction shortly after the tax cuts went into effect.

There’s something fishy about this reporting.

We are seeing evidence that off shore funds are repatriating, at least they appear to be.

You seem to think corporations pay taxes. Your understanding of economics makes me question the validity of your source

Totally bogus report. I’m personally involved in over $300 million in investment directly due to the tax breaks.

Don’t be pathetic - unemployment is at a historical low point and that didn’t just happen w/o corporations taking advantage of the tax cuts...and spending funds to make it happen.....seems like the Fake News folks are pissed because the corporations aren’t donating all the extra cash to the “needy”...
