Wonder which states will get these new businesses?
Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, Wyoming, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Alabama, Montana and Alaska?
Or, California, Massachusetts, Washington, Virginia, Colorado, Delaware, Maryland and Utah?
One hint, one state in the second list received 55% of the total US Venture Capital Funding.

Cutting taxes that the poor and middle class have to pay for...yeah, that's a good thing.
Guys we all know trickle down economics works! I mean look at how it's been tried the past 20x and all the extra taxes we got out of a booming economy! Oh wait...
So, this is a list of amendments being discussed:
First of all, Sen. McCaskill got it from a lobbyist. Not another Senator. It was the first time she, or any Democrat, had seen the list.
Second, I can't help but point out Collins asked for medical deductions for 2017 and 2018...and no other year. That sounds like a pretty cheap, arguably naive, price to set for a "yes" vote.
Third, let's give Hatch some credit for going with "deductions for paying for religious school tuition is okay"
I disagree with the bolded part. I think there is a bill. I just think they don't want the American people to see it. I mean, the last draft was toxic enough, why give any clue about how bad this version is?
But yes, they're clearly caving to demands right and alt-right to get up to 50, which they've done. The vote's not official yet, but just you wait.
Are you referring to people who keep all their money as currency? Most people invest back into the economy. The few people who don't will lose out compared to more active investors.
No need to wait. $18.5 trillion GDP, more wealth and jobs than ever. Capitalism has worked out great.
So you are saying it won't be warm? Maybe I should get a poncho.

Wait I thought we were talking about tax cuts, not capitalism. Secondly, that's the current GDP before any tax cuts. Seems like we are on a good path now, why the need to cut taxes?
I think what you meant to say was, "more wealth iniquity than ever". Like, 23rd out of 30 developed countries level of bad.
Since wealth iniquity is 100% the issue here, it matters far more than amount. Saying "the US is rich" is one thing. Saying "and that wealth helps everyone" is increasingly false.The index comes from the World Economic Forum, whose annual summit is taking place in Davos this week. It is a rather comprehensive measure of inequality, and the fact that the U.S. ranks so poorly is a sign of the country’s dramatic wealth concentration.Of all the factors in the index, the U.S. performed worst in what the WEF calls the inclusion category, which measures the distribution of income and wealth, and the level of poverty. Additionally, the country received particularly low marks in the areas of social protection—defined as efficiency of public goods and services and robustness of social safety nets—and employment and labor compensation. The U.S. joins Brazil, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, and South Africa as countries with inclusive-development rankings that fall below their GDP per capita rankings, a sign that their economic growth is not being shared, the report says. The U.S. had the largest gap between the two measures.

And giving it to corporations... again, odds are good that YOUR taxes will go up as a result of the bills being worked on, to pay for lowering corporate taxes. If you're good with that, so be it. But you seem to be all over the place in your opinions on the mater, with the only constant being that it's somehow a good thing.
