[Peach]

Pubbies promised $4000, where did THAT go?

The truth about AT&T’s $1,000 bonus for workers

 

[Wyatt earp]

Showing your ignorance again?

Try me dummy.

Ever hear of dot com dumb ass?

Yea I did - WHAT ABOUT IT?

Don't play ignorant with me.

No no - go ahead, put together a coherent paragraph. I want to laugh out loud.

What about the dot com and corporate tax rates? What are you trying to squeeze out?

We already had a good laugh, with you thinking Clinton rasing the tax rates did anything...

Oh Wow! Awesome... that's ONE company out of millions.

Yeah, those 200k employees would have been much better off without that extra $1,000 + in their pockets.

Let me leave this video right here.

You are free to give your tax cuts back if you disapprove.

You remember that $400+ one time stimulus payment that Obama gave out? Yeah well it was proven it really didn't do much. Sure what AT&T did is nice on the surface, but a raise that last longer would be a whole lot better.

Non stop crying. lol. And now you want raises just handed out. What ever happened to working harder and deserving your raise? Never heard of that did you?

Raises don't just come from job performance. I'd think someone that worked at a prison and more than likely was part of a union that got you yearly raises through the contract despite many of the co-workers not being worth a shit, would know that.

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!

I think they gave their employees that last year for a bonus. Nice try anyway. They're all supposed to be getting a $4000.00 raise this year. We'll see if that happens.

Another liberal who doesn't read the link. The $1,000 tax bill bonus is on top of their union negotiated bonus and raise, an additional bonus, 1 bonus + 1 more bonus, 2 bonuses, dos bonus Christ how many ways can we say it before it gets through the 4 inches of Neanderthal liberal skull?

Look the Republican party is going to burn down with this. Large Corporations went from 35% down to 21%. There is nothing in this bill that requires large corporations to give their employees bonus's or raises.

We are talking about American corporations, like Big Pharma, Oil and others, and many of whom have shipped jobs overseas.

Corporations do NOT move jobs overseas to avoid their tax liability. They move jobs overseas to avoid payroll, payroll taxes, workman's compensation, medical insurance and all the expense's of hiring in this country. I imagine this huge tax break they just got will go to expand operations overseas.

So this is going to be played out on the campaign trail in every race across this country. Republicans have officially desinated themselves as the party of the top 1% in this country. Doing away with the mandate in Obamacare, means that medical insurance premiums will skyrocket--and there went the middle class tax cut.

Plus this bill is very unpopular with the overwhelming majority in this country. There have been protesters at every Republican congressional district across the nation.
Poll: Majority oppose GOP tax-reform bill

So expect to see a Democrat House and Senate in 2018.

Again you display the FACT that you know so much that isn't true. I was never in any union and never have been. Raises should be performance based and not just handed out. That leads to mediocrity which is what all the regressive socialists love.

So the tax cut savings are trickling down? I thought that didn’t work.

The poor are paying for it through cuts in social benefits.

Prove it .

Healthcare reform, and nothing but repeal.

Of course it is. It's received nonstop negative coverage by the propagandist media from the get go, not to mention the lies coming from your pals in the Democratic Party. Why is it a surprise that the public would have a negative view of it?

So expect to see a Democrat House and Senate in 2018.

Maybe we will, but the election is 11 months away and a lot can happen. If the 2018 economy is roaring as some people are predicting the Democrats may have a hard time explaining their opposition to it. Time will tell.

In the meantime, I'll tell you the same thing I told the others, sweet cheeks. If you don't want that extra money in your paycheck then you can give it back

None of you whiners, of course, will do this. You'll take the benefit of the cut and still ***** about it like the dishonest and dishonorable hypocrites you are.

Wrong. Raises should be based on cost of living, and if someone isn't doing a good job, then they shouldn't have THAT job. That's plain common sense.

Good PR and great rewards for their employees. Forget about waiting until tax season, many getting $1k immediately, should help with their Christmas shopping and bills.

God Bless America!

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

OX Business breaks down how employees at some major companies are benefitting from the corporate world’s good fortune.

AT&T

The telecom giant said Wednesday that more than 200,000 of its employees, including union-represented and non-management workers, will be eligible for a $1,000 bonus. The checks will be in the mail in time for the holidays if Trump finalizes the tax bill with his signature before Christmas. AT&T (T) also said it will invest $1 billion more than expected in the U.S. in 2018, once the cuts are final.

“Congress, working closely with the President, took a monumental step to bring taxes paid by U.S. businesses in line with the rest of the industrialized world,” AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson said in a statement. “This tax reform will drive economic growth and create good-paying jobs.”

Boeing

The aerospace and defense company immediately announced $300 million in investments after the bill passed, with $100 million toward corporate giving including employee gift-match programs, $100 million toward workforce development, training and education and $100 million toward enhancing Boeing’s workplaces.

"On behalf of all of our stakeholders, we applaud and thank Congress and the administration for their leadership in seizing this opportunity to unleash economic energy in the United States," Boeing (BA) President and CEO Dennis Muilenburg said in a statement. "It's the single-most important thing we can do to drive innovation, support quality jobs and accelerate capital investment in our country."

Comcast

The Philadelphia-based telecom corporation said it would award $1,000 bonuses to more than 100,000 non-executive employees. In addition, Comcast (CMCSA) NBC Universal Chairman and CEO Brian L. Roberts said the company plans to spend more than $50 billion in the next five years on infrastructure investments that are expected to create "thousands of new direct and indirect jobs."

In a press release, Comcast said the initiatives were "based on the passage of tax reform and the FCC's action on broadband."

Fifth Third Bancorp

The Cincinnati-based banking corporation said it would raise the minimum hourly wage for all employees to $15 per hour and dispense $1,000 bonuses for more than 13,500 workers. The company says tax reform was directly responsible for the initiatives.

“It is good for our communities, employees and Fifth Third Bank (FITB),” Fifth Third President and CEO Greg Carmichael said.

Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo & Company (WFC) said it would raise the minimum wage for its team members to $15 per hour and earmark $400 million for philanthropic initiatives in 2018. Some $100 million of that total will be committed to boosting small businesses, while $75 million will support neighborhood revitalization efforts.

“We believe tax reform is good for our U.S. economy and are pleased to take these immediate steps to invest in our team members, communities, small businesses, and homeowners,” said Wells Fargo President and CEO Tim Sloan. “We look forward to identifying additional opportunities for Wells Fargo to invest, as we continue to execute our business strategies and provide long-term value to all our stakeholders."

What all the leftists forget is----->

1. Coolidge tax cut, economy roared!

2. Kennedy tax cut, economy roared!

3. Clinton capital gains tax cut, economy roared!

4. GW tax cut, economy roared......till it collapsed, thanks to Fannie and Freddie that the left controlled, which is why Barney Frank got the hell out of town.

With 3 of the 4 examples listed above, the economy was in the tank, and it reignited it. With the other example under Clinton, the economy was pretty decent when he cut the capital gains taxes, and the economy almost instantly went absolutely crazy with massive, quick, growth.

That is what the leftists fear, especially after 8 years of Obama, in which the leftists of every strip proclaimed that 2% growth or less, was the new normal.

Does everyone here realize that once the tax breaks are in effect, that if the economy hits 4% for even 1 quarter, the leftists will be unable to get themselves elected dog catcher!

How do we know this?

Look back at Reagan and what happened. Even Democrats voted for him as their paychecks grew. But here is the kicker---------> today unlike then, almost 1/3rd of the electorate are self identified independents. They do not have internal ideological fights like we do. You show them 4% growth that according to the Democrats would NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR DECADES that will played repeatedly in commercials, along with more take home cash to boot; and it is Katie bar the door on Democratic ambitions to take over anything but the outhouses in National Forests.

And that is why they FEAR this tax cut. They can NOT point to one time they have not worked in the federal government, nor can they point to one time that LESS money flowed into the treasury because of them. They know they are in deep trouble, and I mean deep-DEEP, trouble. They had hoped the same thing would happen to this, that happened to the Obamacare repeal.......because they know the truth---------> when this works, as it has done each and every time it has been tried, unlike Socialism; the American people will be MORE inclined to pursue other policies, that rebuke what they.....the leftists, have done.

Add to that the other bombshells coming about what they pulled off when Obama was in the Whitehouse that were basically, UNAMERICAN...........and you are going to see a sea of change that will give Republicans......hopefully mostly CONSERVATIVES and not RINO's, the ability to put this country back where the founders intended it to be, under governance that originally made this, America, the envy of the modern world!
