Wrong.

LOL. You are mistaken. Yes it did they even referenced it on CNBC a couple weeks ago. At the end of the Obama term we were running  1% GNP,we had a sluggish economy. We had one of the highest corporate tax rate in the world st 35%. Our multinational companies were keeping their capital overseas and expanding where the rates were lower.  He cut rates to 21%, capital flowed into the country our GNP averaged 2.6% Voila !  More GNP more taxes.

Now reducing it further? To have an opinion I would need to do some thinking. Neither Obama of Biden have ever been in the business world.

The results were great for the people as well

Obama
GDP growth: 1.0%
Poverty rate: 14.00%
Real disposable income per capita: $42,914

Trump
GDP growth: 2.6% - increased 1.6%
Poverty rate: 11.90% - reduced 2.1%
Real disposable income per capita: $48,286

Biden
GDP growth: 2.6% - same
Poverty rate: 12.80% - increased
Real disposable income per capita: $46,682 - fell
