I have been hiring more people. Great pay, great benefits. Happen to know quite a few businesses that do the same thing. Have you been hiring?

You think he's in any position to hire people, Cap'n?
Of course not. It is always easy to tell the ones that never actually do anything!
Well, to be fair, Cap'n, he might hire an occasional male prostitute, I suppose. If he saves diligently and doesn't spend his entire government handout every month.
Abstract: We investigate how companies with large holdings of cash abroad have used those funds following the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which eliminated prior tax disincentives on the repatriation of foreign earnings.
Before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), foreign profits of U.S. multinational enterprises (MNEs) were subject to U.S. taxes, but only when repatriated. This system incentivized firms to keep profits abroad, and, by the end of 2017, U.S. MNEs had accumulated approximately $1 trillion in cash abroad, held mostly in U.S. fixed-income securities.
Under the TCJA, the United States shifted to a quasi-territorial tax system in which profits are taxed only where they are earned (subject to minimum taxes); henceforth, U.S. MNEs' foreign profits will therefore no longer be subject to U.S. taxes when repatriated.
As a transition to this new tax system, the TCJA imposed a one-time tax (payable over eight years) on the existing stock of offshore holdings regardless of whether the funds are repatriated, thus eliminating the tax incentive to keep cash abroad.
Balance of payments data show that U.S. firms repatriated just over $300 billion in 2018:Q1 alone, roughly 30 percent of the estimated stock of offshore cash holdings. For reference, the 2004 tax holiday, which provided a temporary one-year reduction in the repatriation tax rate, resulted in $312 billion repatriated in 2005, of an estimated $750 billion held abroad.
It should be noted that repatriation reflects the transfer of funds to the United States in purely accounting terms: The funds previously held by a foreign affiliate are now held by the U.S. parent.
The quantity of cash repatriated since the passage of the TCJA might have a notable effect on firm financing patterns and investment decisions in the near term--a topic that has garnered considerable investor attention. The analysis detailed here suggests that funds repatriated in 2018 have been associated with a dramatic increase in share buybacks; evidence of an increase in investment is less clear at this stage, as it is likely too early to detect given that the effects may take time to materialize.

So, when your gawd Trump said it would be a benefit to the middle class, he was lying as usual, and your head was stuck so far up his ass, or was it your dick, you just could not hear it.
And when your dumb dog fucking punk said "Who benefits from tax cut? People and companies who pay taxes," he was just spouting off shit, and lies, like you.

The reason he "can't" is you are too fucking stupid to be able to comprehend reality, as usual. Repatriation of finances has NEVER created jobs:
http://time.com/money/5267940/companies-spending-trump-tax-cuts-stock-buybacks/
"We’re starting to learn what America’s biggest companies are doing with the huge windfalls from President Donald Trump’s tax cuts. And the answer is great for investors – but not so great for workers.
That’s because many companies are returning huge portions of their billions in tax savings to shareholders in the form of share buybacks and dividend increases — not necessarily new hiring and investment.
Companies are on track to plow a record $1 trillion into boosting dividends and buying back their own stock this year, says Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst S&P Dow Jones Indices.
Buybacks are a strategy to boost stock prices by reducing the number of shares outstanding, which artificially increases a company’s earnings per share. But they do little to improve the economy."
You're a fucking idiot. Look at my avatar, dumbfuck.
