Your misunderstanding is thinking that corporate money goes into a mattress somewhere. Newsflash: it doesn't, it goes right back out into investment, which continues the growth cycle.

Well they aren't going to be complaining are they? The poor and average people celebrating huge tax cuts for the elite. Wow how do they manage this.

But yeah you wait for your pay rises. Im sure the corporates will generously just give their money away...

generosity has nothing to do with it...

More capital available in the market means that private companies have more options to pursue their own interests and profit motives.  For some that will mean investing in higher wages for certain employees that BENEFIT THE COMPANY, for some that may mean more infrastructure investment (Comcast) for some that may mean more job training.  For some that may mean more stock buy backs.  For some that may mean investing in job training, and for some that may mean having greater cash reserves.  

We don't advocate these policies because companies having more money means everyone gets a raise, we advocate them because we know it creates the environment that best enables private companies to invest on the employees they value and that its infinitely better than continuing to DEPLETE the private markets that employee the vast majority of the public.  

Also, the European average corporate tax rate is 18.5% the united States was 35%  That makes no sense.  This brings us in line with the rest of the industrialized world and doesn't create an artificial weight around the necks of American labor.  Also most agree that Tariffs aren't the best way to incentivize trade.  This bill goes a long way to phasing out the 35% Tariff that we placed on OUR OWN COMPANIES returning their profits from over seas.  

We desperately needed corporate tax reform to maintain our international competitiveness.  This isn't about fairy dust or hoping that corporations are generous its about not artificially disqualifying the United States as a field of capital investment on the Global stage.
