After the tax cuts I became more confident that the increases would continue and be more likely to last. At that point we started adding workforce. In a very tight labor market its easy to add 20% when you offer a more than competitive compensation package. “Rapidly picked up after the election” no more needs to be said. The tax cuts aren’t doing shit for wages or demand. All it is doing is making the previously profitable businesses more money. Remember, the ones you cried about making too much money under obama?

Snoslinger Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 So baller ben, how was your man Bernie gonna pay for all the freebies you were advocating? Were tax cuts to the wealthy part of his plan? You’re a fucking sell out dude, bought and paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMH i don't like the man but to say that there no more demand or wage pressure in his economy is disingenuous and not supported by any statistics.

Snoslinger Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) The economy was, and is, on a trend. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened in wages or demand. What makes this even more comical is that prior to trump, the economy wasn’t real, and the stock market only benefited the wealthy. Now it’s the ultimate.

Odd I don’t know one person who had any kind of increase from work, bonuses or pay, with the tax breaks. Everything is the same as it was pre trump. Wifey got her bonus bumped up 5%. Oddly enough it was announced right after the tax cuts were put in place. What a coincidence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest I was indifferent to. Now go fuck yourself you low rent retarded faggot ass mouth breathing fucking idiot The economy exploded after Obama and Hillary were banished. Nothing that is happening now would have happened under Obama and certainly not under Hillary 3% real growth without stimulus and 0% rates was an absolute pipe dream under Obama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's credit. Another reminder: As long as the government is in debt, a tax cut isn't really a tax cut, it's a theft from your future and your children's future.
