I must have been absent that day in Econ/Civics class but I thought that when people have more money they spend more money. So why did the tax breaks go the big business? Business is abt profit, lower wages, more dividends etc. Why hire if there’s no middle class to spend $?

I guess you were absent. That was the day they discussed the negative impact of excessive regulations and high taxes that would effect businesses of all sizes, employees to every level, communities.
-
Ah yes, we all remember the stagnant economies of the 50s and 80s as a result of their high tax rates. And of course everyone misses the smog in LA and lakes catching on fire in the midwest, back before environmental regulations. Memories.

You know environmental regulations ARE business regulations, right moron? Like environmental regulations are an example of regulations on business that Trump is rolling back? Convenient you ignored the taxes comment though. Keep believing the anti-fact BS you're fed.

Why do you publish garbage like this
@WSJ? It debases the respectability of your whole publication. If there are so many jobs where is the wage growth@RepKevinBrady? Without wage growth this is all just stealing from the poor to feed the rich.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I see no difference in my paycheck. Do you define “economy” as wages? Please tell me how middle classes wages are doing? What about our savings? Overall wealth? Income inequality gap? But then again, I’m not on Wall St, nope, just a teacher.

So you make under $25,000 a year?

Isn't the economy on the same upswing it was on before Trump was elected? Also, Dow Jones was 24,824.01 on Jan 1, it's currently 24,580.89, so actually down about 1% this year. 2017 was a good year, but things have stalled out in 2018.

Intrest rates rising, it slows the stockmarket down. But that is a good thing acctually. It will make US economy stronger in the long run.
-
Interest rates rising is not good for middle and lower income people because many credit cards are rising their rates. Variable rate loans increase. People will have less to spend.
-
Goes both ways, savings and pension will benefit. More investments in production and industry. More and better payed jobs will be the results. Low interest rates fuel financial bubbles.
-
Businesses rely on cheap money to finance investment, so small businesses lose. Stock markets are volatile right now and not earning as much, which is where many pensions lose. Only the wealthy who made out like bandits will profit. The trade war is is also hurting us.
-
Cheap money builds bubbles and create inflation. The ones that loose are ordinary working man.
