And Republicans want to give more tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires.



Lowering corporate tax rates helps stock values, and 50% of Americans own stock directly or indirectly (via pension plans).


80% of the value is held by 10% of the population. https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2017/03/02/...


What about the other half?


It was in reply to the person who implied breaks were only for millionaires and billionaires, unless one believes that 50% of Americans are millioniares.

See my other post in this thread on this topic about the democratization of stock investing in America. Of course, one must also choose to invest in stocks as opposed to, say, lottery tickets.

Yes, but based on a market economy of capital.
