B-Man Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 ECONOMIC NATIONALISM: TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME! President Trump’s “America First” policy applies to the economy as well as to foreign policy. He has stood up for American companies, has fought back against unfair practices by China and other competitors, and has browbeaten American companies into creating jobs at home. To some, these policies are reminiscent of the good old “industrial policy” that liberals championed decades ago. The Democrats are starting to catch on. As many have noted, Elizabeth Warren has taken the lead in promoting Trumpian economics–out-Trumping Trump, as some have said. This is, I think, a sign of things to come. A new type of Me-Too.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems could be for a host of reasons I want to start with... doesn't matter what is collected as long as Congress doesn't stop the uncontrolled spending. The government can collect a gazillion dollars in tax revenue and you can bet two gazillion gets spent for more deficit spending. ? Possible reasons listed in the article: </snip> One reason, CBO says, could be that companies shifted deductible expenses — like funding for their workers’ pensions — into 2017, when the corporate rate was still 35 percent, because that made those deductions worth more. That would still show up in the government’s data for the 2018 fiscal year, which began in October 2017. The agency doesn’t know the extent to which that might be happening. Other analysts see other possibilities. Companies may be making greater use of so-called expensing, an incentive that allows them to immediately write off the cost of investments rather than having to stagger them over a number of years. Having more stuff to deduct means smaller tax bills. If that’s the case, it could mean receipts will rebound in coming years because companies will not have those write-offs available to them in the future. Another potential explanation: Trump’s tariffs, which could hurt corporate tax revenues in two ways. If a U.S. company that relies on components made in China suddenly sees the cost of those items increase, it will have more to deduct as business expenses. Alternatively, if a company is seeing fewer sales because it is passing along the cost of the tariffs to its customers, it will have fewer profits to tax. “You either reduce business receipts or increase deductible costs, and either of those things reduce corporate taxable income,” said Pomerleau. “It may mean corporate tax liability is lower than we expected not because our projections of the TCJA were wrong, but maybe because we didn’t account for the fact that tariffs were going to lower corporate receipts.” A fourth possible factor: The law isn’t reducing profit shifting by multinational corporations as much as forecasters expected. By cutting the corporate rate, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was supposed to reduce the incentive for companies operating in multiple countries to stockpile profits abroad, out of the reach of the IRS. </snip> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
