Political Science

But, but, but... you'll be able to file your IRS return on a postcard.

Republican politicians know the people who vote for them are stupid, and they hope the rest of us are.

That's pretty much all you need to know to understand what's happening in Congress these days.

Copied from the Vanity Fair article at the link
“The Trump team is arguing that massively cutting taxes for corporations will somehow translate into significant wage increases for working people,” David Mendels, the former C.E.O. of publicly traded software company Brightcove wrote last week. “This argument fundamentally disregards everything we know about how companies actually decide to hire and how much to pay their employees. As a C.E.O. (and in previous roles) I was involved in hiring and determining salaries for thousands of people over 25 years. From real-world experience I can tell you that tax rates literally never came up in any discussion about hiring or pay levels.”
