Corporations are doing great without a tax cut
Damn company!!
Pay out $200,000,000 just to save $28,000,000.
There ought to be a law!!!
With the current 35% tax rate,
What happened to the liberal claim that corporations don't need a tax cut, they never pay 35%?
Yea, lets see if they vote that way in the midterms."Real" Americans are "managers"?Directly and indirectly Donny T continues to take care of our best and put REAL Americans first.
We watched that black guy with the un-American name tell our top two-thirds to go fuck themselves while rolling out the red carpet for our lowest grade for eight long years. This is awesome to watch.
Are you insane?
Companies will have to increase some wages. That always happens when unemployment drops below 5% and educated workers in certain fields are scarce.
Employers don't want those workers to leave. For obvious reasons.
In fact, where I worked before I retired, several engineers complained they weren't paid enough and told management they would leave if they didn't get a good raise. Management told them to go ahead and leave if they felt they could make more someplace else. One didn't even give two weeks. He found another job, was hired on Wednesday and left on Friday. He told him if he wasn't that valuable, then there wasn't any reason to stay the two weeks people normally give.
The engineering department was thrown into chaos and that manager was eventually fired.
But as far as unskilled labor, which is the vast bulk of the GOP, they will never get raises. Why? They haven't enough value. And by Republicans cutting education and job training, those people without education will never have much value. The GOP has sold them empty boxes and hot air.

Hold on a minute....I thought the majority of stupid broke people vote Democrat while rich smart people vote Republican?
Is this chart bullshit or something?
Even Republicans get tired of being fuked over by their leadership. Racism, homophobia and hate isn't always enough.

Why borrow $1.5 trillion to give them one?
It's a help. Fifth Third for instance will increase wages for 75% of it's employees.
It is MISAPPROPRIATED, FINANCED BY DEFICIT HELP
Fifth Third will spend about $23.6 million on the raises and bonuses during the first year, a company spokeswoman said. The bonuses will be a one-time cost of $13.6 million and the raises will cost Fifth Third about another $10 million in 2018.

So $23 million? Out of ~200 million they will forgo in taxes? 10% That's it?
Fifth Third Bancorp Financials
What we could have done is take that 200 million and DIRECTLY give not 10%, or 20% or 30% to middle class, but 90% of it with something like payroll tax cut, which by the way would would also lower the cost of American employment to businesses.
Didn't have to be payroll tax-cut either - there was 101 ways to blow 1.7 Trillion bucks that would be much better for middle class than this ridiculous giveaway to wall street tycoons and corporations.
Bottom line is that it's having a positive impact even on the little guy. What did DumBama do for the little guy? His 50 employee maximum before they get tortured with Commie Care created a huge increase in part-time workers. Record low labor participation rate was indicative that our social programs got out of control.
And now that the little guy is going to be relieved of the Commie Care tax, that's another benefit to our economy.
That’s not the bottom line, that’s you ignoring everything I just said about the deficit COST and only small fraction of the cost going to the employees.
Just because there is some upside to policy DOES NOT MEAN IT IS A GOOD POLICY.
We can stop collecting taxes tommorow and will land tons of money in everyone’s pockets...and oh by the way, bankrupt our country.
It's "estimated" that it will cost 1.5 trillion over ten years. That figure does not include what would happen if the economy really gets hot because of course, that would mean much more in tax revenue.
I predict it won't cost anything. I think it will increase our labor participation rate, increase pay, and of course, make the USA more attractive for businesses to come or stay here.
You can ignore all that if you desire, but even you have to admit if Trump's efforts brought us a cure for cancer, the left will find something negative about it.
You predict rainbows and unicorns where everyone wins - less taxes are paid, yet collections do not shrink due to that.
Nobody is against such out comes, me least of all, but it is pretty much wishful fantasies not reasonable planning and policy consideration.

Hey Loser did you ever consider that it would have been better to just let REAL AMERICANS pocket that money instead of corporations throwing breadcrumbs at them?
Corporations now pocket billions more (correspondingly increasing out national debt), throw a tiny fraction of that as a one time bonus and tools like you get pants full of happy.
Corporations now pocket an average of about 14%, indefinitely.
Middle class? Just a few % more and even that will expire in 2025.
Why do you like being duped?
Well we did both.
And now corporations are going to be all over USA enriching the US workers. Even better, we will get some hard working white immigration, guaranteed republican voters and contributors who support first world values. Isn't that nice?
White people aren’t interested in emigrating to the USA. We’d be nuts to move to the US. Off-shore companies can’t even get their executives to go to the US on assignment - crappy public schools, expensive health care, and a declining quality of life makes it very unattractive.
It's not communist. Stop letting the Left dictate your choice of words.I agree.
But, can we stop using the communist "trickle down" nickname for capitalism, please. Thanks.
BLS reports salary statistics every monthA 50 percent cut in your taxes is very generousThe bonuses were just part of it. Some companies increased their minimum starting wage which is good for lower income earners.
It should be reflected in employee wages
Rather than a few anecdotal stories about this company or that company.....let's see REAL wage increases in next months jobs report
What are real wage increases? If you make $13.00 an hour and get a $1.30 raise, that's a 10% increase right there.
It may take six months or so, but as the economy grows, so does a shortage of workers. As long s we can keep the foreigners out, that will spark a labor war.
If the 50 percent tax cut to businesses is trickling down to workers, we should see it reflected in the salary statistics. It has been going up a few cents a month but given the magnitude of the tax cut, we should see a significant jump in salary numbers over the next few months
Agree?
To a degree, yes, but again, that all depends on job creation.
Will we see 1975 again? Never no matter what Trump or anybody else does. But we already see the results of Trump's work by getting rid of costly regulations on businesses and creating a positive business environment. The very idea that you can now expand your business beyond 50 full-time employees will give businesses the opportunity to grow as they see fit instead of what the government sees fit.
Federal pay and Social Security went up 2 percent this year for cost of living. Due to 50 percent tax cuts, those in the private sector should see significantly more
If those pay raises fail to occur, we can conclude there was no trickle down

Salaries have been slowly trickling upward
With a huge surge in stock prices and now a huge tax cut, you would expect a corporations to make up for a decade of stagnant wage increases
Hasn't materialized yet
