Where does this investment capital come from?
from their profits they've made from selling to POOR PEOPLE, and I'm not against TARGETED tax cuts, tax cuts on dilapidated property in inner cities or anywhere, or tax cuts on cutting edge technology that's untested and risky to invest in, or tax cuts on machinery needed for whatever, tax cuts for company sponsored education plans, etc... and a lot of those already exist, so it'd just be a matter of changing the numbers to help encourage those buys by companies.
and I'm for having our business taxes be competitive with other nations so I wasn't against lowering the business tax rates, just how it was done, by paying for it by screwing the lower and middle classes.
but again, lets get rid of this trickle down BS idea, the rich and companies don't just give to the poor out of the goodness of their hearts, they need a return on their investments
