Why didn't they do it before?Along with frozen salaries......declining healthcare coverage has also dominated the last decadeExactlyI don't know that there are many companies who ever said they can't afford anything. Salary increases are usually based on many other things than if a company can afford them or not.
This is why pretending that this huge tax cut will actually help employees is laughable
There are more ways to help employees besides pay hikes. Remember that costs of employees go up all the time, particularly those who are covered by a company healthcare plan. Money can be going so a larger employee contribution is not needed, or they may be expanding their employee base. If you read the articles, you see that many of those companies are promising larger charitable contributions, particularly to those charities that are supported by their employees.
Then there is the question whether all companies will see a decrease in corporate taxes. I don't know, just throwing it out there. If the effective tax rate for your company is currently 18%, does it stay that way or is your new effective tax rate 9%? I don't know.
What I do know is that if this tax plan leads to an economic boom, wages will increase naturally.
Now there is no reason to freeze either
I'll believe it when I see it
Take AT&T for instance. Besides bonuses and raises, they plan on investing one billion of those dollars in their own company.
Investing in your company is tax deductable
It isn't trickle down. Trickle down is giving money to Jpe Moneybags who will give it to the poor. This is the reverse of trickle down. The worker is getting money directly that s/he earns, and not having to get it through an agency.
Granny says, "Dat's right...
... dat's The Donald...
... Makin' America Great Again."
AT&T was first to announce it would pay bonuses of $1,000 to more than 200,000 U.S. employees in response to tax reform. The telecommunications giant previously said it would invest $1 billion in the U.S. if “competitive” tax reform was passed, and that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would increase demand for their services.
How much of a bonus will they give us SS recipients?Granny says, "Lookit dat...
... dat Bart Simpson is moonin' ever'body...
... his momma oughta give him a smack fer dat!"
2018 will be an election year
Democrats will campaign on the tax cuts being for the rich
By November, voters will know if they got pay raises trickling down and how much difference in their pay checks due to tax cuts
And republicans will make believe how happy they are with the crumbs the lying moron gives them2018 will be an election year

By November, voters will know if they got pay raises trickling down and how much difference in their pay checks due to tax cuts
The fact is that the rich will get the largest share of the tax cuts. If we were talking about the rate cuts that would be fine. However numerous loopholes were left in that the rich will be able to take advantage of. Trump, Paul Ryan and Corker will get a huge tax cut thanks to the special interest provision that was slipped in. I don't think middle class people will be too happy about that.
BLS reports salary statistics every monthA 50 percent cut in your taxes is very generous
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
Aren't we seeing that already? Bonuses and increases in minimum company wage?
Well......the December jobs report comes out next weekFederal 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
Aren't we seeing that already? Bonuses and increases in minimum company wage?
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
You mean companies like AT&T, Boeing, Comcast, Wells Fargo and Fifth Third Bancorp, etc.?
Lets see if those salary numbers jump like they should
These are some of the companies providing bonuses, I don't think the jobs report reflects bonuses. As far as the tax cut, that won't take affect until February if not mistaken. Only thing we should see in the December report is an increase in jobs....which I'm sure you'll be one of the first to claim it's due to seasonal jobs.

Some of these were in response to other companies that raised wages even before the tax bill was taken up. Others have business before the government or rely on the government for a good portion of their business. This is PR and nothing more.
ExactlyDividends are a different topicALL companies received a 50 percent tax cut. While you celebrate a few who are looking for public relations, we won't know the full impact nation wide till we see those salary reports over the next few months
I would expect a healthy increase......otherwise, we can be certain that trickle down did not happen
ALL companies received a 50 percent tax cut.
Bad math.
we won't know the full impact nation wide till we see those salary reports over the next few months
What about the higher dividends and higher stock prices? Don't they count?
We are talking trickling down the tax cuts to employees
There is no reason employers should be telling their workers.......we can't afford pay increases this year
Let's see if they materialize

There are already good paying jobs out there that employers cannot fill. The problem is that workers do not have the technical skills or they cannot move. What do Republicans do about it? They get rid of the deduction for moving expenses. Really smart GOP. But then they had to find a way to pay for those business tax cuts.

Oh sure, those moving write-offs amount to billions.
The left constantly cries about Republicans giving tax breaks to companies that move overseas. But the truth is the only tax break any company gets from moving are moving expenses. Now that Trump got rid of them, you're still complaining.
