U.S. business investment remained sluggish late this year. Weak business spending was a drag on U.S. economic growth in the second and third quarters and is likely to offer little support in the fourth, which ends next week. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta is tracking fourth-quarter economic growth at a 2.3% pace, with business investment nearly flat, Eric Morath reports.

Goes to show that tax cuts is a redistribution of wealth from the masses to the rich and corporations. Business do not invest - regardless of tax rates - if the prospect for profit is dim.
Trickle-down (aka supply-side) economics is crockpot economics. Supply does NOT create demand. Demand creates supply.
