The sad thing is, we've tried these things time and time again, and they don't work. The "trickle down effect" for example, especially coupled with huge tax cuts, just increases the deficit. Then the Democrats have to go in and clean up the mess. When will people get it through their heads? Probably never, because the same politicians that espouse huge tax breaks for corporations, are being lobbied by said corporations and the corporations are subsidizing their campaigns. #5 is the real winner. How anyone can justify the actions and rhetoric of Trump is beyond logical reasoning.
