If we're being absolutely honest here, what policies do the Republicans implement that help you as the average American?
Blah Blah
Yes, corporate rates were too high, but because of tax loopholes, no-one paid it. Sure, its lower in Ireland, but the race to the bottom on taxation will only result in destruction of economies.
The Republicans took an economy that was creating jobs just fine, and goosed it with a trillion dollars to the corporations. That didn't create many new jobs -- the slope didn't change. But it did make the stock market higher, enriching those who already had money, at the expense of future generations.
I think the corporate rate did need to be cut, but not by the amount that was done. The rest of the cuts, especially the removal of inheritance tax, is just a giveaway to the rich. Multi-generational dynasties are bad for democracy. I can't see democracy surviving another century. It will be oligarchies all around.
