Democrats in Chicago IL want to lower taxes to bring in more revenue.

The new Mayor Lightfoot is going to Springfield IL to push for lower taxes for a proposed casino there. All casinos said no go to a casino with a 70%+ tax rate. She will argue, lower that rate and more income will come in.

Yeah, lower the moralities of Chicago with Casino’s. Yeah that will help. I guess someone thinks they need more poverty there.

Cutting taxes to corporations never helps anyone but the 1% .

Casinos are fun to visit I guess but definitely a 'NIMBY' deal for me .

Cutting taxes to corporation stimulates investment and expansion, thus producing more jobs. Now with that said, it’s effectiveness will depend on the structure of that tax cut.

we need a reagan, price freeze on everything,housing too. Raise min. wage to $30. a hour. Taxes on wages,plus local sales tax, will balance budgets. CEO's wages are up 5000% workers barely double since 1972

The fact that this has never shown to be true has no effect on the boot lickers, enjoy your lives of misery and poverty .

The corporate tax refunds were used to pay off share holders, not for reinvestment or bonuses to workers.

It has been shown to be true several times beginning with John Kennedy’s tax cut. Numbers don’t lie.

Post Revisionist History

No they don't but you do .

Just because you lie and say a thing doesn't make it true .

I actually know quite a few millionaires and independently wealthy types, noe ever put the saves tax dollars back in, they just sit on it .

I don’t lie. Go look at the numbers of the early sixties. I am not making up the numbers. Only reading them. Look at the numbers of the last three years since the tax cut for that matter. Very simple to see the result of the tax cut for those capable of understanding fourth grade math.

The Congressional Research Service says you are wrong. Take up your argument with them. Be sure to bring proof. I am sure they are awaiting your call.

The economy has been on a pretty steady path since we got out from under the small recession we had a while ago. The tax credits to the rich which was not reinvested to the economy had nothing to do with the recovery. In fact, according to the CRS, it may have hampered it a bit.

Then the toilets and make it snappy ! .

No back talk there's plenty of hungry folks waiting to get your crappy job, most of them you know how they voted .
