The Corporations Won't Be Re-investing Any $'s From This Tax Bill In Their Businesses .....

because they know that the People can't afford anything that they may be selling. As such - they will be catering to their stockholders.

We'll be in much worse shape - if this bill goes through. Next they'll be coming after Medicare and Social Security as we move into even more of a lopsided economy that favors the wealthy.

There is no return, mostly (but not completely) for your reason.
Why would they do it?

Our government has been hijacked by people who think it should serve them, not We the People. In their minds, they are the only people that matter. This type has been with humanity forever. It seems to be an endless cycle, a see-saw. They think they are so superior to the rest of us, yet here we are on the ecological brink, the evidence right before us, & we do nothing. I wonder at these billionaires/millionaires buying their million dollar bunkers, do they ever consider what living in a bunker is really like? It's not anything like jet setting around the world & showing off your $600 black leather gloves.

forgive me if I don't believe it this time. Reality says that if you "let rich people keep their own money" they will keep their own money.
