“Corporate greed” tends to be a constant refrain for Democrats, who use that as a justification for promoting higher taxes on businesses. They sell it to their useful idiots by contending that they’re only making business pay “its fair share.”
But what did they do when national panic began to build over impending economic recession? They joined with Republicans in passing a package that includes corporate tax cuts designed to (drum roll, please) “stimulate the economy.” That is because, as a number of them observed, when businesses get to keep a bit more of their profits, they tend to invest it in growth, which creates more jobs. And good jobs, much more than a quick $600 handout to taxpayers, is the surest way out of recession.
In other words, they’ve just made the argument in favor of the hated Bush tax cuts, which all of them neglect to mention have resulted in an avalanche of new money pouring into the federal treasury.
So, could they explain why they don’t want to stimulate the economy toward healthy job growth all the time?
