    Costs almost always means peoples’ jobs. Stockholders are almost always rich. So the title is really “Takes away peoples’ livelihoods to make rich people more money.”

    But if we just cut taxes for the rich, they’ll create more jobs. It’ll trickle down eventually, right? Right?

      This is like cutting off your leg so you can say you lost weight.

      Don’t forget it saves you 50% time of putting your pants on in the morning! - Some CEO probably

  It should be illegal to fire workers to trim costs when your packages make you a multimillionaire.

  It’s a good thing we haven’t Raised Wages or Taxed the Rich! Otherwise they might Lay People Off!
