        Won't match the investment lost as corporations pull investment due to your deluded tax policy. Not to mention the huge job loses

        No, investment has a closer relationship to strength of the economy.

        But not so good if it's paid for by printing money. Paul Mason " if we can't borrow it we''ll print it ".

      I lived through another era in which "investment in jobs" were the watchwords. All we got was yet more debt! Brexit + Corbyn = suicide!

      Sheer lunacy! Greedy baby boomers have already saddled the subsequent generations with massive debts. Yet more borrowing would be insane.
