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

[Nia88]

$1000 bonuses mean nothing. $1000 doesn't get you very far. Now a $1000 pay raise would be something more meaningful.

so give it back. I honestly can't believe you just poo pooed getting $1000. hly fk we're doomed.

ever see someone win $500 dollars on a lottery win? but it's just $500 dollars right? you use $500 dollars to wipe your ass right?

Because these bonuses are only being given as propaganda for these tax scam. After they give these useless bonuses, the only bonuses that will be given are to the CEOs and other high ranking employees.

Unemployment soared after Reagan's 1981 tax cuts:

Series Id: LNS14000000 Seasonally Adjusted
Series title: (Seas) Unemployment Rate
Labor force status: Unemployment rate
Type of data: Percent or rate
Age: 16 years and over

You obviously can't read a simple graph.

Can you!?

This graph shows unemployment spiking after Reagan cut taxes in 1981. In fact, Reagan cut taxes in 1981, and then unemployment soared for nearly two years.

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?

Try me dummy.

Ever hear of dot com dumb ass?

Yea I did - WHAT ABOUT IT?

Don't play ignorant with me.

 

[BluesLegend]

Liberals like Derp are lying their asses off already. AT&T's CEO Randall Stephenson praising Trumps tax reform bill and announcing $1,000 bonuses because of the tax reform bill said, "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, CEO Randall Stephenson said...this tax reform will drive economic growth and create good paying jobs"

He went on to announce $1 billion in capital expenditure spending in the U.S. also attributed to Trump's tax reform bill.

 

[Meathead]

No one can deny that the tax bill is going to work very well for some people:

President Trump Could Save $11 Million A Year From New Tax Bill

As for the $1 1/2 trillion resulting deficit, your grandkids can pay that off.

Chump change for Trump. Get a life.

you're not worth the time.

 

[BluesLegend]

You are 100% Fake News you clown, AT&T's CEO said it was in response to tax reform. Tissue?

a CEO...would lie?

Of course Stephenson's kissing Trump's ass...Trump's holding up his purchase of Time Warner.

I called out your blatant lie and you shit yourself.

And Obama made 80% of bush Jr tax cuts perment in 2013 ..



Guess what unemployment dropped from 8% to 4.8 % ..

Because these bonuses are only being given as propaganda for these tax scam. After they give these useless bonuses, the only bonuses that will be given are to the CEOs and other high ranking employees.

And bonuses are given before profit is taxed. In fact, AT&T determined how much in bonuses they were going to give in 2017 last year. A corporate budget works like this: if you don't reach your budget spend, then the amount you didn't spend gets reduced from the following year's budget.

AT&T was already planning to give bonuses, they're using this as a chance to game Trump to support their purchase of Time Warner...Trump's DOJ is suing in court to block that merger, and Stephenson is trying to game Trump by crediting bonuses that were already going to happen, to this tax plan that doesn't take effect until next year.

So the timeline's a little fuzzy here:

2017 bonuses were determined back in 2016. Stephenson saying planned bonuses were spontaneous is just propaganda meant to soften Trump's stance on the obstruction of the AT&T-Time Warner merger.

You didn't call out a lie and you're telling yourself that so you don't have such low self-confidence.

Quit lying ...I read the story

A $1000 bonus would mean something to me. So speak for yourself, federal dependent asshat.

Admit you lies or prove the CEO lied, its one of the other. I think we all know which is true.

Guess what unemployment dropped from 8% to 4.8 % ..

So you're conveniently leaving out the 20% that he didn't. Now, what did you all say back in 2012 about Obama letting the cuts for the rich expire? That's right, y'all predicted there would be a market crash, economic collapse, and high unemployment. Remember? You all said that if he didn't extend the cuts for the rich, the sky would fall. You were wrong then, so why the **** would you be right today?

Wow more lies

 

[The Derp]

Admit you lies or prove the CEO lied, its one of the other. I think we all know which is true.

The CEO lied. Just like the Conservatives lied to you about the tax scam. Just like they lied to you about trickle down economics. Just like they lied to you about deregulation. Just like they lied to you about Iraq having WMDs.

The bonuses AT&T say they're giving because of the tax cut were already planned well in advance of December this year because that's how corporate finance works.

Your lack of experience in the field doesn't mean your point has any credibility.
