Tax cuts let the private sector taxpayers to keep more of their hard earned monies, which in turn most gets spent in the private economy [consumption of goods and services]which drives it up. Companies gain from that in turn they pay in more tax revenues. When people have less money, less consumption of goods and services which either relates to a stagnant or even a shrinking economy which leads to recessions and fewer revenues to the government.

AI Overview
Rising taxation generally slows economic growth by reducing disposable income, decreasing consumer demand, and disincentivizing work, savings, and investment. A 1% of GDP tax increase can reduce real GDP by 2-3%, as higher rates limit business expansion, reduce corporate investment, and lower household purchasing power, often resulting in higher unemployment.

AI Overview
Lowering taxes generally boosts the economy in the short term by increasing disposable income for households and cash flow for businesses, encouraging spending and investment. However, if not financed by spending cuts, tax cuts often increase government debt, which can raise interest rates and hinder long-term economic growth.

Your economic lesson for liberals of the day -- and you're welcome : )

The one thing I've noticed over the years, is that most of the liberals here have little to no knowledge of management or economics, or finance - but hey, they have a lot of emotion, often misdirected.

How about a living wage, dumb-asses? Oh, that's right, the billionaires that fund the donkey don't want that, that's why they push identity politics instead of class warfare.

I hate the party I left for those reasons.

#15 | POSTED BY HELIUMRAT AT 2026-04-06 10:34 PM | FLAG: How about you tell us what a real 'living wage' is. How would it apply to two individuals doing the same job, but one is single and the other married with a child. Now tell us how a small business with 15 employees can pay that mythological 'living wage'.

FACT IS: Companies' employee pay is what they labor is worth to the company. NO ONE is required to stay with a company in this country if they are unhappy with the pay - they are more than welcome to seek employment with another company, assuming they have the work credentials to to be hired in that higher paying position.

REMEMBER: No one take an employment position [signing on the 'dotted line' without knowing they pay and pay scale of the business, so if they accept the position they have made the decision to work for that pay.

Actually, it is up the the individual to do whatever is necessary if they need more income - whether by taking on a part-tie second job, or maybe taking evening courses to up their work credential for seeking a better paying position. It is NOT the responsibility of a company to give one more money just because they want more.
