From a review of US SEC filings, there were a huge number of 68 Non-Oil & Gas Companies headquartered in the highly entrepreneurial Dallas, Texas Area with stock market caps of more than $1 Bil recently.
Nearly all Republicans, a high percentage of Independents and even many perceptive Democrats all agree as a starting point that for US capitalism to work properly, Companies must generate in the aggregate reasonably healthy profits. This just didn't happen in 2017 for Dallas, Texas Area Companies.
It’s clear to me why Obama is now respected by more than a few Dallas, Texas Area financially savvy citizens.
My Focus is on Pretax Income Rather Than on After-Tax Net Income Because Income Taxes are Simply a Transfer of Financial Wealth Between US Corporations and the US Federal, US State and Foreign Governments. It Has Nothing Whatsoever to do with Company Operating Performance.
