Strategist saysWTF. Lower tax rates increase the bottom line, making projects more lucrative to invest in. You think corporations will invest in new projects if the bottom line did not measure up?
Strat--
Investment is pre-tax dollars. Higher tax rates actually lead to more investment.
In any event, cash flow is really the most important metric--that's why many companies use EBITDA as it can give a truer measure.

Ok so why don't you show us this actually working in real life. Look at corporate tax cuts at any point in the last 100 years and show where it actually happened. It's true because I say it's true doesn't count.
profits increase further,then have them get a tax break by reinvesting those profits into expenses so their is less to tax . Then we can force a company into giving higher wages hiring new positions and such. Why should the cart come before the horses? We have seen it doesn't work. So lets stop trying. All lower taxes do is make a company want more profits for the owner(share holder) it doesn't make them reinvest in the company. Higher taxes make an incentive to have lower profits hence more expenses the other way around doesn't work. Don't listen to piggy he doesn't know what he is talking about.

I'm all for cutting military spending. But, in my opinion, companies purposely keeping money overseas to avoid paying taxes until they can make sure someone is elected who will lower their tax rate is robbery. We need to do both--collect revenue and cut spending
joeyjojojunior saysApple is able to get whatever cash they need in the US to invest in whatever they want.
Why do you assholes use Apple as an example, they are so FAR out of the rule and a major exemption, that it's not even in the same ballpark?
Joey, Joey, Joey. You forgot your Finance 101.
Please explain why lowering taxes would make a company spend money on expenses?
A business can only split the "pie" in so many ways. By reducing it's tax burden, it frees up capital for use in other areas like, hiring new employees, higher wages, better benefits, newer infrastructure and equipment, offer new products, buy in bulk to save money, etc.
It's amazing these knuckleheads that run on the hampster wheel everyday think they know how a business runs. It's really scary, but that's why they will ALWAYS be wage slaves to the day they die at 75.
So sad.

At some point you'd think one of you would take time to learn
LOL-hahahahaha-joey and mirror-LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Says the guy who has NEVER owned or ran a business, doesn't know the difference between an Asset and Liability, and "thinks" he's schooling others.

Please try and keep up.
I don't have a week to post all your fuck-ups. How many more people need to point that out to you, just in this thread alone.
Seriously, there are adults having a conversation here, go TROLL somewhere else.

I don't think piggy is self-aware enough to know that he's the biggest troll on the interwebs.
And you want us to take YOU seriously?
but doesn't have "time" to point out 1 little thing that I've said that he thinks is wrong.

My informed guess is that the vast majority of taxpayers would benefit
(To help you understand--if I give away $100 to 100 people by giving $99.01 to one person and a penny to everyone else, it would be correct to say the vast majority of the benefits went to one person even though everyone got something)
What a idiot (and TROLL).
Talk about bullshit that has ZERO application to the tax plan. Tatty/Joey, when you fuck up, you really fuck up.
You've only posted that like 25 times so far on multiple threads, can you PROVE that will be the case, so far, it's been bullshit opinions?
Of course you can't, that's the TROLL line of the day.
A tax "expense" is another line item in the total expenses column.
You've NEVER owned and run a business, you're full of shit!

Scroll up in the thread, I already did.

Here are the most notable changes:
- Lowers individual tax rates for low- and middle-income Americans to Zero, 12%, 25%, and 35%; keeps tax rate for those making over $1 million at 39.6%
- Increases the standard deduction from $6,350 to $12,000 for individuals and $12,700 to $24,000 for married couples.
- Establishing a new Family Credit, which includes expanding the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $1,600
- Preserving the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit
- Preserves the Earned Income Tax Credit
- Preserves the home mortgage interest deduction for existing mortgages and maintains the home mortgage interest deduction for newly purchased homes up to $500,000, half the current $1,000,000
- Continues to allow people to write off the cost of state and local property taxes up to $10,000
- Retains popular retirement savings options such as 401(k)s and Individual Retirement Accounts
- Repeals the Alternative Minimum Tax
- Lowers the corporate tax rate to 20% – down from 35%
- Reduces the tax rate on business income to no more than 25%
- Establishes strong safeguards to distinguish between individual wage income and “pass-through” business income
- Allows businesses to immediately write off the full cost of new equipment
- Retains the low-income housing tax credit
A key issue will be the treatment of the state and local tax deduction, which lawmakers are proposing to cap at $10,000.
The bill also “makes no changes to the popular retirement savings options that Americans have today — including 401(k)’s and Individual Retirement Accounts, or I.R.A.s. Americans will be able to continuing making both traditional, pretax contributions and ‘Roth’ contributions in the way that works best for them.”
