The ability to claim deductions and lower your taxable income is the greatest way to stimulate the economy. Higher taxes would in theory push companies to seek out ways to find deductions through purchases, expansion, research, etc. a tax cut does the opposite and it’s an awful way to encourage a company to spend.

You’re saying that the best way to stimulate the economy is to increase tax rates, and then encourage people to find ways to avoid taxes. That’s somehow better than just lowering taxes to begin with? Interesting.

You obviously don’t own a business. Talk to someone who does and they will say ol Nebe is right

Why is it better to hire an accountant and a tax lawyer to get a lower tax rate, than it is for the feds to have that lower rate to begin with? Please explain.

followed it perfectly...it's nonsense....the rest of that "theory" states that high taxes on individuals produce similar results because it "forces" them to work harder than they otherwise would to maintain and plan their life...to that I say GFY(theoretically)

bill maher 2days ago made an observation trump loves to pick fights with blacks . And as if on cue he lashes out at Jay z (a nobody in the scheme of things) another example of what happens if you don't bend the knee

Unemployment is historically low across the board in the US not solely because of Trump but don't tell him

Jay z criticized trump, trump fired back like a baby. Very much like obama, I remember when mat Damon dared to criticize obama, obama made fun of him, and his latest movie, on national tv. Wdmso, you are deranged with hate. Take off the tin foil hat.

Your comparisons are not even close . Your examples are like saying 1st 2nd and 3rd degree burns are the same because they are burns. That’s how you rationalize Trump and Obama thin skin as the same . Whatsvmore amazing you believe it.. yet you present your Matt Damon story to fit your argument but actual events differ https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usa...om/amp/1796591
"I have to say, it was pretty funny," Damon said -- though he doubted Obama wrote it himself.
