The Civilization Crisis: Post-Factual Criticism of Politics
In Trumponomics, falling tax rates for businesses should increase tax revenues. When businesses do not invest in an under-financed infrastructure, then tax gifts lead to lower state spending or higher state debts at the end. Trump wants to lead us into a world where subjective perception is everything and what he says is always reality-the post-truth world. He can create "facts"-the US has the highest corporate tax rate in the world-while most big corporations pay no federal tax. Between $21-32 trillion is stashed in tax havens from the Cayman Islands to Delaware.
