How America's biggest companies are spending their tax cuts.
That Spanky, what a card he is! Did anyone with a lick of sense suspect his tax cuts would benefit the average citizen? Check it out, pilgrims!
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/compani … mp;ffid=gzNot much unless you're in the top !% which get over 80%0f the benefits. I didn't realize you were in that bracket, Dan. Hey big man, let me hold a dollar!
And you don't seem to notice when I ask you questions....as in my last comment.
How many new employees are you hiring, Wesman?
Unless you and Dan are in the top 1% you're getting peanuts. Really smart!
It's absolutely OUR wealth: How many billions would the Walton Family or any other owners have amassed if not for the work force doing the heavy lifting while they packed and shipped the billions over seas? ANSWER zero: And how do they repay America? By shipping trillions to foreign countries:
Sorry, but when there are millions of homeless individuals, millions of seniors who cannot afford their medication. millions of workers who are under paid and millions who are uninsured in America then yes, giving this creepy looking greedy weirdo and others just like him more millions to buy another yacht or two is undeniably unholy: But obviously they don't care, they know they're going straight to hell soon anyway:

0 The Age of Petty Tyrannies
By John W. Whitehead
We labor today under the weight of countless tyrannies, large and small, carried out in the name of the national good by an elite class of government officials who are largely insulated from the ill effects of their actions, and inflicted on an overtaxed, overregulated, and underrepresented populace. Consider, for example, that federal and state governments now require on penalty of a fine that individuals apply for permission before they can grow exotic orchids, host elaborate dinner parties, gather friends in one’s home for Bible studies, give coffee to the homeless, let their kids manage a lemonade stand, keep chickens as pets, or braid someone’s hair, as ludicrous as that may seem.
A current case before the Supreme Court, Niang v. Tomblinson, strikes at the heart of this bureaucratic exercise in absurdity that has pushed overregulation and overcriminalization to outrageous limits. This particular case is about whether one needs a government license in order to braid hair. Missouri, like many states across the country, has increasingly adopted as its governing style the authoritarian notion that the government knows best and therefore must control, regulate and dictate almost everything about the citizenry’s public, private and professional lives.
It’s not just hair braiding that has become grist for the overregulation mill. Almost every aspect of American life today—especially if it is work-related—is subject to this kind of heightened scrutiny and ham-fisted control, whether you’re talking about aspiring “bakers, braiders, casket makers, florists, veterinary masseuses, tour guides, taxi drivers, eyebrow threaders, teeth whiteners, and more.” For instance, whereas 70 years ago, one out of every 20 U.S. jobs required a state license, today, almost 1 in 3 American occupations requires a license.
This is what happens when bureaucrats run the show, and the rule of law becomes little more than a cattle prod for forcing the citizenry to march in lockstep with the government.
