The bottom line - Using only anecdotal evidence to prove a point proves only the existence of an anecdote (and nothing else). You should have learned that after your embarrassing Carrier Corp. post.

Bottom line - you point to a disingenuous, leftist economist to "debunk" the analysis by the Tax Foundation. I'm laughing right out loud.
By the way, just to help you out a bit more, and anecdote is generally used to describe a singular event. There have been multiple companies that have announced bonuses, wage increases, expansions, etc. that they attribute to a more favorable tax climate in 2018. The run up in the stock market in part is attributable to a more favorable tax and regulatory climate in 2018. I think we're a bit beyond classifying this evidence as "anecdotal". You might need to find a different pejorative term to make your failing narrative sound better.

Oh, and the Sam's Club closing are unfortunate. However, some locations will be converted to online distribution centers and others will be converted to Walmart stores. As I understand it, the stores were placed in areas where population growth was expected, but such growth didn't materialize.
Your invocation of Trump is curious, since the closing of these operations won't involve outsourcing of jobs to another country. But details like that typically don't stop you from mixing apples and oranges, I guess.

Now for some Right Wing economic wisdom.
IRS Sets Withholding Tables as GOP Pledges Paycheck Increase
Quote:
“This is outstanding for families in Texas and taxpayers across the country,” House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady, a Texas Republican, said in a statement. Nine out of 10 taxpayers “will see a boost in their take-home pay within the coming weeks,” he said.
|
Quote:
Two congressional Democrats have expressed concern that the new tables would “systematically underwithhold income taxes during the 2018 tax year.” That sort of move would boost workers’ pay before the November 2018 congressional elections but could leave them “owing federal income tax when they file in 2019,” according to a Jan. 8 letter to the Treasury Department from Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon and Representative Richard Neal of Massachusetts.

Isn't this what Bush Sr. called Voodoo Economics? Goes to show that some of the people like Texas can be fooled all of the time.
Now we know why some Sam's Club locations (aka Walmart) are closing, Texans cannot make their layaway payments?

Oh, and leave it to the left to find something wrong with letting folks keep more of their own money from their paycheck.

Really, define folks. I am not one since my property tax deduction is now limited to $10K which is less than half and own two homes with monthly mortgage payments.
Where are the corporate tax cuts going to?
And why isn't this related, better than the fake drivel you are peddling. This is an actual news item, not a twisted opinion from a minion of our deranged leader.
For deranged please read

And you wonder why no one wants to discuss the issues with you.

If they find their paychecks are inaccurate, it will be incumbent on the employees to tell their employers to make corrections.

But your hero Clinton retroactively taxed folks, including dead ones. So, what are you complaining about?

I'm thinking that its simply because you're not able to, because I've not seen much evidence to the contrary.
