A recent Rice University economist study predicts Bidens tax plans will kill 1 million jobs within a year. Will yours be one of them?

Update:

@ Leo. You're right it's a million jobs each year between years 2 and 5 or 600K jobs per year over 10 years. It's far worse than I thought. Thanks for pointing that out. 

Update 2:

@Arnold. OK. Feel free to share a link to studies from those other 1,000 economists. I don't mind reading what an expert might have to say on the matter. 

Update 3:

@marsel - I think so. Economists have been around long enough to know how corporate tax policy effects the economy. It's not a COVID study.

    That seems unlikely.

    That's not what the document says.  Did you even bother to open and read any part of it?

  • And a thousand others say differently.  One thing we do know because the federal government and many states have tried it multiple times - big tax cuts for the rich to not balance budgets and stimulate the economy.  Yet that is still number one on the right wing agenda.  Why is that???
