"The corporate tax cut didn't improve business investments, didn't fuel private-sector hiring, didn't improve wages, and didn't pay for itself."

A key detail in the corporate tax debate: the GOP's cut didn't work
Republicans and private-sector opponents of Biden's plan are in a tough position: they're demanding the maintenance of a corporate tax break that failed.

1. Actually, it worked just fine...at making wealthy people richer...

All that other shit? Well, we're on our own.

2. Depends on how the impact is analyzed. For what the rich paid

the politicians for their tax cut and what they received, the tax cut more than paid for itself.

3. The tax cut worked as intended, but not how we were told it was going to work.

The people who got this tax bill passed never intended it to help anyone but the super rich.
It was a quid pro quo for campaign contributions...an investment in election futures.
All in all, the ones who passed this bill felt it was a really good deal for about 1% of the nation, and for themselves.
The rest of us...not so good. But then what do they care about us?

4. This

Exactly!
