Why do democrats think putting people out of work helps the economy by putting unfair taxes on corporations ?

Update:

Jobs went up because of corporate tax cuts

Update 2:

ZMAN492 OBAMA DIDN'T CREATE ANY JOBS AND THE REASON MORE JOBS WERE CREATED CAUSE OF TAX CUTS IS BECAUSE CORPORATIONS COULD AFFORD TO CREATe MORE JOBS

    Because the Democrats assume that punishing those that create the jobs is fair.

    Why do you consider 28% of profits to be unfair? If the corporate tax rate was raised to 28% it would still be lower than ir has been from around 1940 until the Trump tax cut.

    Why do you think a higher corporate tax rate would put people out of work? Corporations pay taxes on profits. If a corporation pays a pays a dollar more in salaries it reduces profits by a dollar less te amount it would pay in taxes on that profit. At a 20% corporate tax rate it would cost the company 80 cents in profits. At a 30% corporate tax rate it would cost the company 70 cents in profits.

    Why do you think jobs went up because of corporate tax cuts? The number of jobs increased significantly under the Clinton and Obama administrations. The number of jobs decreased significantly under the Trump administration with lower corporate tax rates.

    That is not the point.

    Democrats want Everyone to be dependent on the Government.

    The socialists realize that equality means everyone being the same level of POOR.  [Politicians are exempt.}

    It is impossible for everyone to be equally Rich.

    You have noted that while the Government has Closed business, the Government Legislatures, and employees Have NOT taken pay cuts.

    The former president was a dollar a year man,  donating back his salary to the government,  his business' donated to the Government their profits, during his tenure.

    If the DNC can ruin the economy during the previous administration, then when they "save the economy" it is all improvement, Right!

    They aren't trying to help the economy. They are trying to break the middle class because that is what Marxists do. The property of the middle class is what a Marxist wants to take by force if necessary. 

    Marx exploited people with class envy. If you work for the middle class, Marx considers you a slave of mental degradation.

    corporations should only get tax breaks for hiring more people

    In the 1970s, corporations paid 34% of the federal tax base.  Now they pay about 13%.  Many are experiencing the largest profit margins of any companies in history.  They can pay a bit more in taxes.

    Trump's corporate tax cut didn't work because companies didn't invest the money.

    What unfair taxes?  There is nothing unfair about a 28% corporate tax rate.
