" once Dems are in, it all reverts back to the way it was"
That's a promising start. Then we can begin to make it the way it should be.

God, you are depressing to read. It is all doom and gloom to you it seems.

Tax rates are going to be the tip of the iceberg; when Dems get control back it will be under the leadership of kids who are utterly clueless and have no idea about fundamental economic precepts, and no willingness to go through a learning process.

And honestly, I think it is a matter of time before young fools jump on board the "Democratic Socialism" train. Never mind that Finland's government has collapsed because of an inability to find a way forward with the cost of social programs. Bernie has yet to mention it.

The country is headed to a dark place, so the term isn't so far off.

First off, they aren't staying in the US. They took the tax breaks and plowed them into executive compensation. And still they are offshoring. If anything, that behavior has accelerated and not declined. Did you see where imports have increased and not declined?

Trump has done nothing to change the behavior of the large corporations.
