- robertlagrant 6y agoThat's not taxing us, that's just them (or businesses they, or non-rich people, run) getting some tax relief. They will still be either paying more tax or employing more people or investing in more companies that employ people than I do, that's for sure.
- mtgx 6y agoMany large companies that got tax breaks ended up firing thousands weeks later and buying more of their own stock.
- 29athrowaway 6y agoThey make us pay for their convenience. For example, Walmart pays minimum wage and asks employees to use Medicaid while their leadership gets enormously rich.
- robertlagrant 6y agoIf you spread that wealth (the non-stocks and shares kind, actual money) per-employee, you will not get very much money. That's why this sort of statement is silly.
