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

[Issa]

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 expect all Never Trumpers that work at AT&T, to refuse the bonus.

Most americans are never Trumpers. Are you anti American?

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

No, you lied. You lied by omission. The omission being that Obama let the tax cuts on the rich expire. Y'all said if he did that, it would lead to the sky falling. So Obama let the Bush tax cuts for the rich expire and suddenly there was job growth!

A simple yes or no did the unemployment not go down from 8% to 4.8% after Obama made over 80% of Obama's tax cuts perment?


If yes then tax cuts work


No?

 

[Lewdog]

I think many are also ignoring the elephant in the room. Ryan came out today now saying in order to make up for the $1.5 TRILLION of debt this cut is going to create, they want to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security... all of which Trump PROMISED he would not let be cut. So... does Trump lie and sign off on it and totally **** himself and the Republicans out of the vote of the old people that historically vote at a higher percentage than any other group?

 

[The Derp]

Quit lying ...I read the story

Quit believing all the bullshit you're being fed by propagandists and known liars like Stephenson.

Why would a tax bill, that doesn't lower corporate rates until 2018, have anything to do with bonuses for 2017?

 

[Spare_change]

$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.

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.

That's called "baseline budgeting".

Companies don't do that .... only the government uses baseline budgeting. Companies that did are now out of business.

LOL!

Obama let the Bush Tax Cuts for the rich expire, and the result was job growth when you all said the opposite would happen.

So since you were wrong then, why would you be right today?

WRONG! WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG. Companies routinely do that. AT&T did that last year.

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.

Let's see so in your world more regulations increase growth how?

The CEO didn't lie


The conservatives didn't lie about the tax bill..blue states have to now pay their fair share to the feds


The mandate is gone

Cooperate taxes went down to 21%

Where is the lie?

Liar. Here I'll obliterated your lies...AT&T told CNBC the bonuses announced on Wednesday are above and beyond any existing agreements, which means some workers would get two $1,000 allocations: One with a new contract, and one when the tax reform bill is signed.

 

[The Derp]

Non-sequitur and red herring; we were talking tax rates not regulations. Your Russia is showing when you do that.

The CEO didn't lie

Yes he did. The change in the corporate profit tax rate for 2018 has no bearing on the planned bonuses for 2017.

The conservatives didn't lie about the tax bill..blue states have to now pay their fair share to the feds

Red states are taker states that, without the welfare provided by blue states, would have to raise taxes. Conservatives quite literally use welfare to pay for trickle down.

The mandate is goneCooperate taxes went down to 21%Where is the lie?

The lie is that it had anything to do with AT&T's planned 2017 bonuses.

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

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.

So how does that mean the CEO lied, you retard? You just claimed they were planning on these bonuses based on the presumption that these tax cuts would pass, meaning if there was no such tax plan, there would likely be no bonus plan by AT&T.

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

Your lack of firing brain cells means you have no credibility period.
