Dan Bongino: A large majority of business leaders say they plan to add more jobs in 2019, and many say the Trump tax cuts have helped their businesses, according to a new Zogby Analytics Poll highlighted in the Washington Examiner.
The Examiner reports:
A survey of owners, chief executive officers, vice presidents, officers, administrators and directors found that 79 percent are putting plans in place to hire more employees. And broadly, said the new Zogby Analytics Poll, executives are citing the tax cut for continued expansion. “What we found was an optimistic, yet somewhat cautious outlook for business this year,” said the analysis.
Also uncovered in the survey, 55 percent of businesses said it was “unlikely” they would layoff employees this year and almost half said the tax cuts help their bottom line, compared to just 13 percent of businesses that say the tax cuts will “hurt” them. more
Tax Cuts helped. Jeez, my aching head. Lets start a list, I’ll miss a few. Regulation, Obamacare, Tariffs, Magic Wand, Military budget, the end to sequestration. How about intimidating China, right to the core. This is why I was pissing people off left and right during the primaries, and yes, he did exactly what I expected. The mans all business. Regardless of what the asshole says about his “Small Family Business”, remember, part of that empire was built by buying failing customers and making them successful, or selling their assets and taking the tax advantage. He’s like half a mullet, business in the front, and business in the back.
just in time to hire that surplus of “non-essential government workers” that will be showing up in the unemployment offices around DC

And if 100% of these businesses were honest (or informed), they’d ALL admit it’s because of POTUS Trump’s economic policies. We haven’t had an economic ‘A’ Team like this, EVER.
