God, I can respect your socialist views, but you don't have to agree with everything that supports the things you like.

Thinking that if your company start making less money you will pay more to your workers is just delusional, there is no way around it. This is not Reagonomics, this is just reason.

If you claim it is debunked, provide a source for your claim.

I am not even saying we should lower taxes, just refuting your obviously false point that wages will be higher. It is baffling how uncritical you are of what you are saying.

Companies will always try to pay as little as they reasonably can. But sure, live in your fairy tale world where you can just make up reasons why your political views are great.

How many companies do you run?

I'm guessing zero because you have no idea how companies work their financials.

Even a small business should be structured to minimize taxes in ever possible way.

Companies are structured to minimize liabilities of which taxes is one of many.

It's the very reason companies hate unions, the contract is a series of liabilities.

It's the very reason companies dumped penions, liabilities.

As soon the tax liability became a non-concern, they went after the now higher liabilities. Thoses things were payroll and benefits. Outsourcing and off shoring.
