Perspective | Wages really are rising too slowly. But corporate tax cuts won’t help.

We won't know until long after the law changes whether it will affect wages, or employment. I haven't heard any corporations commit to raises, bringing offshore jobs back to US, or repatriating their funds. They likely wouldn't say anything though, so it is a wait and see. Unless they can do all the above and maintain the returns their investors require, they likely won't do it. Time will tell. No need to fret over it, because it is mostly a done deal.

They know but they do not care.

I have not read the article cause because the WaPo won't let me unless I subscribe (like tha's gonna happen), so my comments may be off base.

What piece of legislation did the Democrats put into place when they controlled both houses and the White House that does "address" the "real problem?"

What proposals are coming from the DNC now that address the real problem? If your answer is higher taxes on the wealthy I raise the BS flag. The ONLY thing that will bring about an increase in wages and salaries is an increase in the demand for labor. I'd love to hear the argument that increasing taxes increases the demand for labor.
