    No no, you see: the tax breaks are incentive for the rich to stop dodging their taxes. Along with China, Mexico, and Canada paying a 35% tariff to America for its exports, the EcOnOmY will flourish and increase the wages of hardworking American citizens.

    I wish I were joking, but a lot of Trump voters actually believe that shit.

      It’s seriously the dumbest thing in the world…

      Like ok maga dude, you don’t think a burger flipper deserves any more money than they currently make because they don’t do anything “extra” or “difficult.” What in the absolute fuck makes you think that a corporation that makes more profit will suddenly pay you more when you’re not doing anything “extra” or more difficult than you were previously?

      A company that keeps more profit than they did previously just keeps more profit than they did previously. They don’t suddenly decide to increase unnecessary expenditures.
