Uhh... those graphs point to something way-the-h*ll-and-gone more insidious than you might be thinking--they're essentially saying that for the bulk of businesses, there won't be a way to make money anymore.  Now, you have to understand that there's a difference between money, currency and value.  It's possible to have a reality where you're making more money exponentially but the value is dropping every bit as fast as the dollar amount is increasing.


For a great many companies, the current financial environment is completely unworkable in the arena of long-term planning and budgeting.  While the Democrats blame it on the Republicans, the Republicans blame it on the Democrats, etc., it's so much larger of a problem that it's fast becoming a Greek Tragedy.


Sure, businesses could see a short-term gain in profitability by cutting their tax burdens and then all the benefits that you'd see from changing the color of the ink on the bottom line would help for awhile.  BUT... you're only going to forestall this coming crisis by a very little bit.  And in order to analyze that problem, we're going to have to step back far enough to truly see The Big Picture...
