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.
