HEY YOU says

"The Republican Party has one idea. It’s a terrible idea that has never worked out for anyone but the very top economic strata of our society. It’s been called Reganomics and trickle-down economics, but it basically says that if you give the people with all of the money even more money, they will make sure to build bigger and better things and everyone will end up getting more money.

Actually, it says if you give incentives to anyone to build bigger and better things, they will build bigger and better things, and everyone will benefit.
eg Apple, Amazon, Google.

"To anyone"

"Trump took my mandatory $300/month, $8000 deductible 'health insurance' away! Now I can't shell out $11,000+ before some big multinational receiving massive state subsidies pays one dime towards my health care. I've been cheated, by gum!"

Republican voters believe anything they are told. Many be dumb.... & poor.

Free money at taxpayer's expense is an incentive to take that fuckin' money and run like hell!!

How much free money did Apple get? They are the biggest single tax payer in the country.

jazz_music says

HILLARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bend over buttercup and prepare to MAGA!

If that were true, they would have been in the streets with their guns, and semi automatic weapons cleaning house.
CNN has been trying to ignite a race war for years. We just laugh at the Libtards and the Nazi LARPERS trying to troll us.

She'll get a teaching job one day, everyone will act surprise when she Mudsharks the Black Star Quarterback.

Really? Does exxon and chevron know that?

Yes Bob, Exxonmobil and Chevron know that, but you obviously don’t.
Apple was the largest tax payer in 2016, replacing the oil companies when oil crashed.
When yo google, please use the latest information

It’s so sad telling adults how to google
Very sad

I didn't google it I got it from Forbes. Like the magazine. The paper one. But I read it early in the year and they may have been still working on 2015 at that point. I work a lot more from printed sources, mostly books, than google. The trade off for much more accurate information with actual citations and references is the material can be slightly dated at times.

So how much free money did they get?
Anyway, I’m not sure what your point is. Cutting the taxes of the richest isn’t going to improve Apple’s bottom line. Strong wage increases for the middle class most definitely will. Trickle down economics hasn’t exactly been a prime driver of the latter.

I got my information from CNBC when they reported Apple earnings a few days ago.
You are a dinosaur, Bob. I have always wondered why people pay for magazines and newspapers just to get yesterday's news, when today's news is available for free.

Apple gets none.

Looks like grabbing bits and pieces of news online only is why you didn't manage to grasp the sentence. I said mostly books. News is a very shallow glimpse at what happened but with almost no depth into why or how. For that you are going to have to dive into books or have nothing more that a very shallow tenuous grasp on the subject matter.

I read online news just fine. Usually bbc and the economist every day along with half a dozen of the better english language international news organizations casually. I read the NYT and WSJ in print a couple days a week because I enjoy it.

What are you talking about Bob? We all know Fox News has the same kind of in depth analysis as an article in The New Yorker. Get with the times.

Well yes and no, so what was your point again?
