What's this?

Taxes in 10 years are not BS


If they were, corporations wouldn't care if their taxes were temporary or permanent in 9 years. But they care a lot. They don't trust that politicians will be able to make them permanent, so they want the lower rates set in stone today, so that it won't require a change in the future to lower them.

The fact that they made corporate tax cuts permanent, but didn't do the same for individuals is telling. This whole tax bill is about lower corporate tax rates. Everything else is smoke and mirrors. But, that smoke still stinks. Which is amazing, because they could've done popular things, and they chose not to.
