Does anyone care to take a stab at this:
How does the corporate tax dropping from 35% to 20% affect the middle class?

Dropping the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20% is a significant drop. It will boost corporate investment into new factories, research etc, provide jobs and make us more competitive with the rest of the world.

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.
That's how it works at Apple and Google right?

Is Apple and Google the only companies in the country?
The children here that go to work all day to run in their hampster wheels don't understand how a business runs. A business can only split the "pie" in so many ways.

I know what some of these knuckleheads will come back and say "that tax savings will only go into the owner's pocket". Ready in 5, 4, 3, ...
. 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.
Actual business owners know that you hire when, by hiring, you can produce more product, generate more revenue, and ultimately more profits
However this will help prevent inversions-no one will change their base to say London or Ireland to take advantage of taxes. Also without the tax shenannigans and the territorial tax system, corporates can bring their money in without worry about the high taxes here. If you are doing your business in low cost countries, you can't bring it here as it will be taxed at the 35% rate-minus expenses and tax paid there.
Now at 20% I doubt many companies will worry and it will allow companies like say Apple to bring 10s of billions back to America. It could-theoretically-add trillions.
Most middle class will get a cut
They may just double the exemption to say 20k for state and property taxes-at which point there will be very few that will be impacted. Well except IL and maybe NJ.
All it does is rob the US government of a LOT of revenue.
IL and NJ are bad, but you'd be surprised at how high property taxes are in a lot of states.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2015/03/21/cheat-sheet-high-property-taxes/24990145/
IL only ranks 6th on this list of the worst states for property taxe
That was in 2015, now iL is no 1. TX has high property taxes-but no state income taxes, so ok. YOu can't have both.Again why can't IL cut. Why can't they cut their govt villages and entities by half and cut staff by half-at least admin staff??
That is not robbing. Bringing people from abroad as refugees and giving them free money is robbing. This is just taking less money-entitlement mentality has run amok. There is another path-cuts to govt, to say the DEA, military. You cna cut 300-500 billion a year in gubmnt.

Actual business owners know that you hire when, by hiring, you can produce more product, generate more revenue, and ultimately more profits.
And what does lower tax rates do for the bottom line???? "ultimately more profits."
Joey, you really should not be posting until you finish your coffee.

Sniper says. 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.
Corporations have record profits and record amounts of money in the bank for " hiring new employees, higher wages, better benefits, newer infrastructure and equipment, offer new products, buy in bulk to save money, etc." already.
Don't let facts screw you up.
Each new project is determined on it's own merit. If there is not enough profit, projects will get shelved and end up in Mexico.
But don't let facts screw you up.

You're making our case for us.. Those merits are not dependent on tax rates (or only very minimally)

Joey, you really should not be posting until you finish your coffee.
Nope. Profits are before taxes.
WTF. 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?

Except one grows the business and one takes away income from the government that all companies need to survive.

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.

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.”
