Trump’s tax law cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

What did corporations do with the money saved?

They didn’t invest it or raise wages.

They spent a record $1 trillion on stock buybacks the year after the law went into effect.

Nothing trickled down to workers.

@rbreich actually if they did stock buy buck they rised the price of their stock- so if the employee had the stock they benefited from that. Also usually stock buy backs are good because lower the chance of hostile takeover (which usually is very bad for employees) and additionally allow the company to run Employee Stock Purchases Plans which give employees a way to buy the stock cheaper than the martket price. In my honest opinion that is not the worst way to spend money…
