Hillary Clinton - Businesses Don't Create Jobs [really???]

[@misterdeity]

I think what she's talking about is giving big businesses and corporations huge tax breaks. After this last round (the Trump tax cuts), I believe corporations spent the vast majority of the money saved on stock buybacks rather than creating jobs. They didn't use the money to increase wages either. But those executives made a killing!!! Trickle down has been killing us, creating massive deficits, and stagnating wages for 43 years now.

Did you see my "Union Teachers Advocate for Marxism in the Classroom" video? I'm getting the impression that you would look favorably upon that kind of activism in government indoctrination centers (public schools).

​@@firecloud77 I'm a fan of the mixed economy practiced from the late thirties to Reagan. Where, for the first time in human history, the middle class grew at a rate that eclipsed the upper classes. I want 25 tax brackets topping out at 91%, like we had under Eisenhower, and where we could make the needed investments in infrastructure, education, basic/medical research - when we were curing disease and putting men on the moon. I'd recommend the book, American Amnesia. We've done it before. We can do it again!
