Dallas, Texas Area 68 Largest Non-Oil & Gas Companies Total Pretax Income in Obama's Last Two Years in Office (2016 and 2015) Increased By a Very Robust Average of 18% Per Year From That in the Two Preceding Years (2015 and 2014) ....................................................................................

Then in 2017, Trump's First Year in Office, These Same 68 Dallas Area Non-Oil & Gas Cos Generated Audited Total Pretax Income Which Declined By 9%  From That in 2016.  

........................................................................................


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.

From a review of SEC filings, the chart below shows the Audited Gold-Standard US GAAP Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014 for these 68 Dallas, Texas Non-Oil & Gas Companies with stock market caps above $1 bil recently.
