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

[BluesLegend]

It eats at you obviously that AT&T rewarded their employees with a bonus after the Trump tax reform bill was passed, you see bitter and consumed with rage.

You're being taken for a ride, just like you were taken for a ride with the tax bill that will end up raising your taxes above what you pay now by 2027.

Here you earned these

It is a lot less of a gamble than continuing to spend

No, it's not. The reason is because the only way to reverse economic contraction is to increase spending. Think about what you're saying; you want to achieve high growth by...cutting growth.

Why not shoot yourself in the foot before you run a marathon while you're at it? Yeah, too much foot...that's the reason why you can't improve your marathon time. Better shoot that foot, that way you'll run faster.

Like I said, I'm not for the tax cuts nor the added spending, your terrorism hyperbole is just that.

No, what you're for is deliberately causing a recession to achieve the same level of growth you had before instigating that economic contraction. And when you reduce spending and contract the economy, you exacerbate deficits. So you're taking three steps back to take one step forward. How many steps does that leave you behind?

As far as raising my taxes, according to what has been published, according to the tax policy institute I will see a reduction in my taxes, as I am middle class.

You'll see a slight reduction for 2018, but by 2025, the rates will rise and by 2027, you'll be paying more than you pay now. That's what the JCT says in their study. Also, not factored into that is the spike in health care costs (JCT estimates 10% premium increase - higher than Obamacare's premium increases) that will "eat up" that tax cut you think you got. In fact, for most Medicare patients, the COLA to SS won't even cover the increase in premiums Medicare has already started.

So if deficits don’t matter as YOU claim why not cut all taxes and have government provide all of us with all our necessities?

Why are the bonuses being rushed to be paid under the 2017 tax year?

Not sure why you're fixating so much on the deficit when it's you guys who screeched about deficits throughout Obama's term. Feels like you're being a sophist here because you don't want to admit your thinking is fucked up.

Let us see his tax returns for the last 10 years please then.

Dude, no one gives a shit, the ones they have show him paying taxes....you guys speculate and then he just rams his cock in your throat....look if you have proof, go for it. IF that was true, OBama's IRS would have released his returns do to a "snafu" but it didn't happen, because there is nothing to see. We have evidence of the Clinton Foundation being corrupt, but we have zero info on Trump not paying taxes, like when Reid said Mitt didn't and then found out Mitt paid more than Reid did.......

Trump is hiding something....Romney pays less than lot of hard working Americans pay.

omfg, you guys do this everytime. What is he hiding?
Romney paid more than Obama, why aren't you bitching about that?

I was you just werent around
Why didnt he serve like Mccain did?

You mean, get shot down on his first mission and wait the war out as a POW?

You also forgot about McCain almost sinking an aircraft carrier


Lol

If these bonuses represent tax savings being passed to the employees, it's clearly not. They'e paid under the 2017 tax year.

Are companies rushing to get additional deduction under 2017, knowing they don't need them under the lower tax rate in 2018.

Again, if deficits don’t matter as you keep claiming then why not cut all taxes and have the government provide all of us with all our necessities? I know why you twist and divert from the question, however your failure to answer my questions tells me all I need to know.

I'm not claiming that and have never claimed that. So you're lying about what I said because lying is the only way you can hang in this debate.

I suggest killing yourself instead.

So what this troll does is typical of what most Russian trolls do; build straw men in order to push through a false argument and nonsense point, all to serve the troll's ego and nothing more.

Deficits don't matter when you have something to show for it, like infrastructure, or health care, or free public education. Because those pay back the deficit thanks to the economic activity they generate. Tax cuts don't pay anything back, as most tax cuts are saved and not spent in the economy.

Possibly the stupidest statement I have read this year. How ******* stupid are you?

You leftist bots just spew the same old unproven BS on every post.

 

[IsaacNewton]

Tax Cuts. Yeah. It's easy to cut taxes when you put the bill in the mailbox of the American people. Deficits, which is YEARLY debt owed by the US, will climb by $1.5 trillion dollars.

See when you borrow $1.5 trillion dollars from the American people 5 years from now so the wealthy can stuff it in their pockets today you haven't cut anything except the throats of working people who won't start bleeding out for a few years.

Conservatives you are forever ignorant of economics and foreign affairs but you constantly are sawing at the limb near the trunk of the tree as you and everyone else sits on the branch.

Liberals don't want employee bonuses-they want more food stamps and housing vouchers
Trumps winning is killing them and their mantra

Healthcare reform and a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage!

Just what 5th/3rd bank and Wells Fargo promised now that the tax rates were cut.

It's all about the spending, not the taxing. Americans pay enough taxes. Big Brother is receiving massive tax revenue. It's not the American Taxpayer's fault we're in debt. We're in debt because of the corrupt Swamp Creatures. Citizens just send their hard-earned money in. They can't control what the Swamp Creatures do with it.

Government spends money in the economy. That is literally what government spending is. If you pull back government spending and don't replace that demand from another source, then the economy will contract. Once an economy starts contracting, only spending increases can reverse that contraction.

You economic illiterates still don't understand how our economy works, even after all these years of posturing.

Again, Big Brother receives record tax revenue every year. The money is there. It's only about the spending. So i'm fine getting a tax cut break once and awhile. I'm all for keeping more of my hard-earned money. I don't trust the Swamp Creatures with it. No one else should either.

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????

So far all the companies announcing bonuses like ATT%T or Wells Fargo are all companies that have business due in front of the Trump administration. In short they 're trying to make Trump look good, because they need him to OK a deal or to drop the fines against them.

The "Rule of Law" Is the Rule of Lawyers

So the money doesn't go to the overfed law firms they hire or to the government giveaways Trump isn't able to cut, it goes to their workers. What you really want is more pet food to appease your favorite victim groups.
