- It will create more jobs here in the States, absolutely. How could something like this that makes companies want to be here not?
- The US makes a TON of stuff, you just wouldn't know it because we shipped so many jobs away. This won't bring them all back, but it will bring some. And if it's not enough, Trump will big-dick like he's been doing and force them back. And most of the internets -- Google, FB, Twitter, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Snapchat -- that's mostly us too, but the measure of success for those companies early on was how quick they could A) get most of their shit the F out of California, and later B) Make it so they pay taxes in a different country.
- This tax cut will benefit me because I'm a small business owner. I am not rich at all. Some really good things can also benefit billionaires too, it's okay. We don't need to do things that consistently jam it into billionaires asses over and over again to make this country better. That's counter-productive, even though it would please a lot of you.
We got so much propaganda drilled into our heads when we were young from movies and TV about corporations always being evil and always having bad intentions and wanting to screw over the common man. Then some of us grow up, pay attention to what that side is actually doing, and realize that it's not all true, and without them, we would crumble or live like Snowball wants us to and have no electricity and corn growing in our backyards.
I didn't vote for the guy either, but I really like what he's doing. For the first time in my life, somebody is (at least seems to be) trying to make real changes for the greater good of America, and unfukking what's been broken for so long. And every time he does, so many people's response is "Oh nooooo, I'm super scared that _______ might happen as a result." Well, you don't know that and I don't either. But at least the guy is genuinely trying. It's more than I can say for Obama, Bush, Clinton, other Bush, etc.
