GOP tax bill: AT&T, Boeing among corporations rewarding employees

Thank the RINOS in congress, Trump didnt have a damn thing to do with passing the bill he gets to sign.
Jeb couldn't have done better. (-: If you have a stock invested pension or 401K, it's a good day.


or not

The Joint Committee on Taxation, the official congressional scorekeeper, estimates every income group would receive an average tax cut next year. But the JCT also found taxes would go up for lower incomes over time, in part because fewer eligible taxpayers would choose to receive health care subsidies through the ACA. By 2027, every income group making less than $75,000 would see a net tax increase.
 
GREAT ... taxpayers will need a little extra cash in their piggy bank when the tax cuts add an EXTRA TRILLION DOLLARS to the deficit.
... or $9 trillion like the last guy.

Sounds like we're slowing the runaway train.
 
I thought the Left just loved the idea of increasing demand with all sorts of ideas to redistribute money downward. I'm pretty sure they heartily approved of that $400 Obama stimulus, right? So now it's a bad idea?


It's a bad idea because it was proven that it didn't work. They didn't know it wouldn't work when they proposed it. See that's how things work in real life... you don't know if it works if there is no precedent to compare it to.


Excuse us no precedent ?


How old are you? Did you forget about bush Jr rebate checks ?

They are proven NOT to work.

Bush's didn't work... so on the second one they thought it was because it wasn't large enough to make a difference... so they increased it. It still didn't work.


We had growth in the 60s and 80s on corp tax reform. But the thing is, AT&T is promising 1 billion in capital spending, that it says wouldn't have occurred without allowing it to deduct 100% rather than 50%. They also got a tax cut in their corp rate, and that's what people say will result in corporate stock buybacks and stock prices rises, rather than jobs. No one knows what really will occur with that tax cut. But, it's very possible economic growth will result.

What's interesting will be what they want to do with this one billion. Get Trump to ok it's take over of Time Warner, and use the money to pay off Time Warner shareholders? Or actually build something.

You mean when JFK cut corporate rate to immodest 47%?

Reagan cut it to 28 in 1987 which was followed by recessionary economy all the way untill Clinton raised it to 35% in 1993.



Showing your ignorance again?

Oh, I think lower earners and the middle class will take it up the shorts and not just in terms of actual taxes paid ... once you factor in state and local taxes, reductions in student aid and healthcare.

But again the gop is trying two things. One to stimulate overall growth by making it easier for business to make capital expenditure. And its pretty much a public relations gambit to counter the unpopularity of the bills with really nice goodies to corporations, which are handing out bonuses paid for with public debt for our kids. And two, reward their conttributors.

Yep, and they are lying about the success of this type of move in the past and who it helps.

It is being compared to Reagan's, and though the taxes went down over the entire time Reagan was in office, after his initial tax cut he RAISED taxes 5 years out of his 8 year Presidency. Not to mention, there is factual PROOF that his tax cut for trickle down economics actually created a larger gap in the middle class, not an improvement.

"3. Unemployment soared after Reagan’s 1981 tax cuts. Unemployment jumped to 10.8 percent after Reagan enacted his much-touted tax cut, and it took years for the rate to get back down to its previous level. Meanwhile, income inequality exploded. Despite the myth that Reagan presided over an era of unmatched economic boom for all Americans, Reagan disproportionately taxed the poor and middle class, but the economic growth of the 1980’s did little help them. “Since 1980, median household income has risen only 30 percent, adjusted for inflation, while average incomes at the top have tripled or quadrupled,” the New York Times’ David Leonhardt noted."

But, the bottom line is if growth goes up faster than debt as a % of gnp, the bills are overall good for America. Rural Penn is pretty much irretrievably fucked.

And, CNBC this afternoon also had a real estate ivestment guy saying this would kill moves to rehab historic buildings, and real estate investment in NY and CA was screwed, but he was looking to NC and Fla. So, it's sort of a mixed bag.

JFC let's hope we don't do that again. Seriously.
 
AT&T is giving $1,000 bonuses to 200,000 employees after tax bill

AT&T was quick to respond to news of U.S. tax reform, announcing it would give some employees bonuses once the law is official.

div > div.group > p:first-child" itemprop="cssSelector">
The telecom giant said in a press release on Wednesday that it would give more than 200,000 U.S. union members a special bonus of $1,000. The company also increased its capital expenditures budget by $1 billion in the U.S.

So they're giving bonuses and not jelly of the month club memberships and INVESTING in the US......holy shit......who knew????
Well everyone who voted for and will sign this and all those like me that supported the bill......

liberals, life isn't that difficult and full of misery and pain like you think. Open your minds!

No...it's because the year is ending under their budget, and they have to spend the money remaining otherwise they lose it.

Again, your lack of business experience and gullibility is showing.

10 Things Conservatives Don’t Want You To Know About Ronald Reagan



You stupid fuck unemployment soared after Obama's stimulus
 
Let the Democrats and MSM's heads start exploding.

As anyone who has ever worked in a massive corporation will tell you, bonuses are already factored into the budgets. AT&T handed out $1000 bonuses last year too, and there wasn't a tax bill then. AT&T is coming in under budget for the year, and has to spend this money otherwise they lose it in next year's budgets.

Corporate Finance is a tricky thing.
 
I suspect that come February when ordinary folks start seeing a bigger paycheck due to less withholding being taken out that opinions might change and this tax bill could become more popular. I believe there is some precedent for that.


That's what they don't understand because most libtard posters on these boards don't work.
A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage, helps more.
