It's funny. Obama created more jobs in his last 18 months than Trump did in his first 18 months.
Obama had multiple quarters of 4% growth.
But the sheeple somehow still believe that Trump has helped the economy. lol.

That's not trolling, that's simply asking about the logical conclusion of the assertion that taxing corporations creates jobs.
Goran_K says
So why not just tax corporations at 100% and creates lots of jobs?
I think trolling is against the rules here.

In Internet slang, a troll (/troʊl, trɒl/) is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion,[3] whether for the troll's amusement or a specific gain.

It's funny, why not do it apples to apples, compare Obama's first 18 months to Trumps first 18.
How much QE has Trump added to economy to get new jobs? Obama added $4 Trillion.

If someone really wanted to compare apples to apples, which they don't, then the 18 months before the inauguration would have to be included to see the trend going into the new presidency.

I thought the point was obvious. All the Trumpkins claim that Trump has done great things for the economy. If that were the case, I would have expected better job numbers after his election than immediately before his election. But the opposite is the case. Things have gotten worse, despite his tax plan borrowing trillions from future generations.

Seriously, it really doesn't get anymore blatant then what Leon posts on a daily basis.
Why @Patrick tolerates trolls like you here is beyond me.

Nope, not obvious, but it will be as soon as you post Obama's numbers from his first 18 months as a comparison...

No problem--I post data all the time. Here you go:
Trump first 18 months -- 3,432K jobs created
Obama last 18 months-- 3709K jobs created

Yes, I'm serious. Things are not better. Jobs created is down. GDP is the same. All the tax savings have gone to the 1% in the favor of stock buybacks and bonuses.
And the only reason that revenue is up is Trump gave in to multinational companies and let them bring their money back to the US. Once all the money is back, you can be certain the revenues will be down. And the trillions will be borrowed.
Are YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? No, really? That was a serious question. Especially since a) things are a helluva lot better no matter how you spin things (or try to) and b) he isn't borrowing TRILLIONS. The new econ stats prove that was a bunch of total crap! Larry Kudlow has been vindicated, pal.

Wow, now let's try this again, but this time, really try to use reading comprehension, OK?
MrMagic says
Leon, do you see the operative word in that sentence, "first". This is how you do an apples to apples comparison.
A "first" and "last" comparison shows absolutely nothing, except that you're just trolling again and being dishonest.

That would be a dumb comparison. If Trump has helped the economy, you'd see a difference in the trend when he took over. The only difference is that Trump has made things worse. MrMagic says
lol--can you show me where Trump is improving things? Lest you forget, you are the one saying Trump is making things better. I am the one supplying the data proving that he is not.

"Researchers looked at 92 publicly-held companies that reported a U.S. profit from 2008 to 2015 and paid a federal income tax of less than 20%, the rate proposed by House Republicans, by exploiting loopholes in the current tax code.
The 92 companies examined saw median job growth of negative 1% over an eight-year period, compared to 6% across the entire U.S. private sector. Moreover, half of those firms eliminated jobs during that time, downsizing by a combined total of 483,000 jobs.
At the same time, average CEO pay among the 92 firms rose by 18%, compared to a 13% increase across the entire S&P 500"
But, cutting corporate tax rates would ABSOLUTELY enrich Trump himself. When the Trumpcucks realize that he cares not for the average American. Everything he does, he does for one reason alone. To enrich himself and his family.

is another interesting article detailing how Trump has screwed the American worker but helped his businesses.
