text: Yeah the only problem with that theory is that it doesn't work in the real world.  The last election was about more and more of the economy getting funneled to the top few percent to the detriment of the rest.  The tax cut for businesses only adds to the problem.  Instead of funding more production and jobs what happens in the real world is that it funds more stock buybacks. The problems in the economy are on the demand side and worker skill levels not the supply side.  Targeted tax cuts that promote workforce training and apprenticeships might be something that will help the economy.  Eliminating other tax breaks that provide no real economic benefit while lowering rates by a like amount could make sense.  Eliminating or limiting the deduction of interest expense could help in the long run. There are reform ideas that make sense but all we see at this point is rate cuts.
