Will the trickle down economics actually work?

[brown_trousers]

Corporate tax rates have been cut in half, republicans are claiming that those savings will "trickle down" to the employees working for those businesses.

UPS will be realizing those tax breaks for the entirety of this next union contract. Tax breaks that are supposedly suppose to "trickle down" to us union employees.

So what do you think we will see in this next contract? Will the trickle down theory actually prove correct, and we will see some big improvements in our contract? Or will the democrats be proven correct, and the large corporations will keep all those extra tax savings for themselves, while not trickling down any that money to us?

We make enough money—-upgrade the infrastructure.

Absolutely. It may give us more money to spend. But, it is more for the people who gave up looking for work. Cause Obama gave the money to the poor. To make them dependent on government. Which will make them vote democratic. Now the corporations will create more jobs to these people.

Puts us in an excellent position to get a 3-4% yearly raise for drivers.

So do you think our upcoming union contract will reflect the claimed trickle down effect? Will we see improvements?

Ha! Funny! Hoffa will be the only one getting trickle down. Concessions for us. Ups will benefit also.

Cause it hasn't been used since the early 80s. Reagan. None have done it since

 

[brown_trousers]

This next union contract will put the "trickle down" theory to the test. Im betting that the theory fails, and we see no significant improvements to our contract. And thus prove the failure of the idea of trickle down economics

Right off the rip I know that I will not settle for any less than a 14% bump from what I received last contract. That is what they are saving in corporate taxes.

UPS can trickle down my sack this holiday season.

I’d like to spread some holiday cheer all over Abney’s face.

You are an idiot! You need to be very careful, you are about 5 brain cells away from forgetting to breath while walking!

Kansas was the latest to try this from 2012 until it ended the "experiment" in 2017! Kansas is now Billions in debt.

Learn you history, just regurgitating the crap you hear on FAUX news makes you look like an idiot!

I'm not necessarily against tax breaks for corporations, but they need to make it contingent on executives not making over a certain amount more than the average employee in each corporation. When executives stuff their own pockets, while calculating public assistance in to employee compensation, something needs to change. Tax breaks for the poor don't do anything, since most don't pay any federal income tax anyway, and many qualify for tax credits, and that money comes from somewhere.

The main thing that needs to change is taxing small businesses/self employed at personal income tax rates. Many don't actually bring in enough revenue to pay themselves a decent salary, especially when starting up, let alone make a profit. A lot of the needs our country has can be best met by small businesses, rather than large corporations, but the tax code, among other challenges, makes it nearly impossible to get the ball rolling.

Don't just take my word for it please! Go get more information from...oh say; CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, BBC TAKE YOUR @#$%ING PICK!

Sheeple like you are what has gone wrong with this country. Idiots who can not think for yourselves and must be told what to think by FAUX entertainment service.

Maybe UPS should hire a 30% increase in drivers.

If this peak has shown anything, it's that Big Brown is normally understaffed and ridiculously so at peak.

Forget pay increases. Put more trucks on the road and let drivers experience life outside the workplace.

Just google Kansas Economy. Not a lot of good there.

If anything this Peak has shown that our infrastructure is woefully inadequate.
