FedEx Freight | Pay differential

Maybe. But specifically speaking, if trickle down worked, there wouldn't be so many "poor". Outside of a few p.r. moves, that corporate windfall will never see it's way into the employees hands.

So you think when corporations pay higher taxes that don't trickle down ?

 

[Jeff]

Corporations don't pay taxes even if they are forced to pay taxes... Those costs are passed on to the people who use their products or services so we pay their taxes for them.. So when you make em pay hard you are just asking to pay more.

I think regardless of the corporate tax rate wages and benefits remain stagnant. Not to mention inflation. I think the working class are stretched beyond their limits.

That's good, I as well, but I see beyond my own situation. I can empathize with those who aren't. Studies show most Americans aren't doing as well as ourselves.

No, like the one's working full time making wages equivalent to the 1990's while the wealth consolidates at the top.

"After adjusting for inflation, however, today’s average hourly wage has just about the same purchasing power it did in 1978, following a long slide in the 1980s and early 1990s and bumpy, inconsistent growth since then. In fact, in real terms average hourly earnings peaked more than 45 years ago: The $4.03-an-hour rate recorded in January 1973 had the same purchasing power that $23.68 would today"

I'm simply proving my point that the wealth hasn't trickled down. The wealthy nor corporations needed this tax break.

Well the wealthy buy what you deliver and the corporations don't pay taxes, you do so....

In 2016, the top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97 percent of all individual income taxes, while the bottom 50 percent paid the remaining 3 percent.

How much more should they/ we pay?
