So, the passing of this scam of a tax bill has me really thinking about what the Republicans have become since being the party of Lincoln. It’s one thing to make bad decisions because you think you’re being moral, but I just can’t believe, even kind of, that the current Republicans think that this new bill will be beneficial to their constituents. They just don’t have any leg to stand on in that regard.
The justification for this scam of a tax bill is that the permanent corporate tax cuts will incentivize corporations to make new big investments spurring salary increases and new jobs. And I keep reading articles that have company heads and CEOs claiming that this will in no way make them interested in doing that. They’ll mostly use the breaks to do what they’ve always done: boost shareholder profits. So I find it awfully bold for people like Paul Ryan to insist that corporations will absolutely do something that they have no financially good reason to do.
