To rebuild our democracy, we must commit to the long-term process of supporting policy focused candidates, resisting the hatred that flourishes on social media, and restoring the integrity of our federal government.
There is no easy fix.

Do corporate tax cuts boost economic growth?
Nope.
"There is evidence for publication selectivity in favor of reporting growth-enhancing effects of corporate tax cuts. Correcting for this bias, We cannot reject the hypothesis of a zero effect of corporate taxes on growth."

What do tax cuts for the rich do?
They increase inequality.
They have no effect on economic growth or unemployment.
"Our results provide strong evidence against the influential political–economic idea that tax cuts for the rich ‘trickle down’ to boost the wider economy."

As someone trained as a trade economist, it is my duty to share the 1929-1933 Kindleberger Spiral, showing the month-month decline in global trade due to the combined factors of the (global) Great Depression and retaliatory tariffs. Smooth Hawley is implemented mid-June 1930.
