Current Affairs 2020 Democratic Primary

So ta

This post is straight out of the the rights on how to explain rich people to your base book.

It's utter nonsense and factually incorrect.

At least be like other non americans here and actually do some research. If you did you would find out that you are way off.

Nearly all of the biggest business owners in the US have at one point admitted they pay little or no taxes compared to their employees. Google it there are hundreds off examples out there. Bill Gates, Mark Cuban and the others on Shark tank. Zuckerberg even admitted it.

The thing is these owners dont write legislation nor do they pass laws so many accept or find ways to give back through charity or they simply say not my problem depending on what side of the aisle they line.

It's a big myth that cutting their taxes drives them to be better to their employes. In most cases the extra profits are shared amongst their shareholders or used to expand overseas operations.

Trickle down economics peddled by the right has continually failed yet they still persist on ideas based on it. All they are doing is looking after themselves and their rich friends.

So tax cuts haven't contributed to the lower levels of black, woman and Hispanic unemployment since Trump came to office ?

Since you live in the US, how has your income changed since the tax cuts ? Are you better off or worse ?

It's actually a FACT that cutting their taxes only makes them buy up more of their stock. Trickle down economics means they hoard money more and don't increase the pay. Theres literally nothing that shows that it actually helps the economy other than stock buyback.

Not sure I am reading your post wrong but i said it was myth it would be given to employees and employers do keep the extra themselves. Not.sure if you are elaborating or disageeing with my point.

So you agree with the Trump lover then? You liked my post then replied with this. Odd person.

you probably don’t know how I am in other threads but I like to use meta humour or bad sarcasm that is obviously hard to portray in text. Essentially I was just using his dumb way of rebuttaling against your reasoned argument to highlight he or she’s ignorance.

Incomes have not really changed one bit.

I'm self employed pal. I can tell you I cannot charge higher fees.

I can also tell you many off my friends have not seen increases. Only maybe 2 or 3 of them but in their professions its standard to get a yearly bump

It's been stagnant. People seem to confuse companies willing to hire more people in the current climate with increased wages.

So far all most have seen here is companies profiting.

Not sure about your blacks and latinos comment as theres most likely no tangible data for something like that. It's obvious he said that at a rally or fox news told you that.

Black and Hispanic unemployment is at a record low

The jobless rate for Hispanics hit a record low of 3.9% in September, while African Americans maintained its lowest rate ever, the Labor Department reported.

Yes, Trump deserves credit on black unemployment

Is President Trump singularly responsible for the record lows in black unemployment rates?

Another.

Why dispute it ?

What bad can actually come of admitting that unemployment levels are at their lowest and Trump has had an influence on this. The extent to which this influence extends is the debate, not whether he has or hadn't.

I never said they weren't low.

You said people were making more money because of tax breaks. I agreed there were jobs. The tax breaks did not go into the people's pockets only their bosses.

None of the above you linked has anything to do with tax breaks

I think you are confusing several different things here.

Unemployed has been on the decline even before he stepped into office. But stagnant wages and lack of bonuses and perks have not changed.

Perhaps don't quote right-wing tabloids when talking about support for Trump. There are far better sources to cite in showcasing Trump's achievements.

It's either factual or not.

Doesn't matter if it's from right wing tabloids or not.

Who, phequa??

 

[SteveSC]

Who, phequa??

Yes.

You disagree?

He asked me was I better off and I said no nor where my friends and people I know. From the tax breaks that is. Local news as did national news covered the effects and many impartial analysts couldnt see differences.

He's then decided to point to unemployment numbers and tried correlating the tax breaks with the the numbers.

Thing is there was never any real evidence that people were being hired as a result. What actually happend was a slight increase in bonuses to employees from these employers which then screwed the employees come tax return time.

Unemployment had already been dropping long before his tax breaks and even before his term

But of course someone business inclined and money hungry will grow confidence in the market as he did when elected. So the decrease continued.

As for the minority job pickup I said I didnt know if there was data.
