Tom- This is also known as trickle down economics or as Bush Sr called it while running against Pres Reagan in the primaries in the 80's "vodoo economics". This is how we are currently operating. The idea of it sounds OK but it never plays out. Just like your posting you say more tax breaks for big business so they will make more and reinvest locally. Right after that you tell us your company outsources to China. They are making more money but not reinvesting the way they should. Back in the 80's everything was made in the US so it worked a little better. Now its the other way a round. Until these companies are made to reinvest in their own country it does not work. You cant predict how the money is going to be spent and with all the golden parachutes these CEO's are getting it is clear they arent reinvesting. You get what you pay for and taxes arent always a bad thing.
