Wells Fargo, Fifth Third Bancorp unveil minimum wage hikes after tax bill passage

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The people running these banks are generally much, much smarter than President Trump. They know a mark, when they see one.

You see, that’s how it works when companies have more of their own money and the government has less. People benefit

Really? Fascinating. Because the statistics show that, despite decades of record corporate profits, wages have stagnated, as have benefits. And, as it turns out, tax revenue is not gathered and shot into outer space...it actually goes back into the economy, to people's benefit. Such as, for instance, enforcing laws against criminal fraud like that uncovered at....wait for it....Wells Fargo.

Yeah, and it also gets spent on a perpetual war machine around the world, into the hands of foreign dictators, the government picking winners and losers in the form of corporate welfare, and a multitude of other wasteful ventures

I don't think it would be a hard exercise to point to the money "wasted" by private business.

Wait for it------>but it is THEIR MONEY! If they waste it, so what? If they go out of business, another business takes their place!

Leftists NEED government. They worship at the altar of government for everything, even as they waste your money.

Just take a look at Fort Fun, lol. He takes his money to buy a computer, I-pad, or cellphone, to spend some time on here. Now we know his prattles are waste of time, but it is HIS money, so if he wants to prattle nonsense, why should we care!

But then, the only way we should actually care, is if he purchased said computer with a welfare check, then he is spending OUR MONEY! What do you think the odds of that are-)

But that's their money to waste, so A, it's not your concern and B, they are held accountable by investors and shareholders. The government takes our money, wastes it, and rarely is there accountability.

The workers are entitled to increases. And benefits cost little. Fact.

Two more companies announcing pay increase for their employees due to the tax bill passage.

But I thought this was the end of civilization as we know it........

Fifth Third Bancorp will pay more than 13,500 employees a bonus and raise the minimum wage of its workforce to $15 an hour after the passage of the Republican tax plan that will cut the bank's corporate tax rate.

Fifth Third is yet another company to announce a bonus for employees because of the tax plan. AT&T said earlier Wednesday that it would pay more than 200,000 U.S. employees $1,000 each and increase its capital spending budget by $1 billion.

Wells Fargo, meanwhile, also said it would be boosting its minimum wage for employees to $15 an hour, which was prompted by the tax plan. The San Francisco-based bank also said it would target $400 million in donations to community and nonprofit organizations next year.

By next year this time they’ll be laying off workers and we won’t see your retarded ass around talking about it.

And tax revenue is the government's money, by laws decided by a democratic process. You are now retreating to a position of arguing against any and all taxes, which is a failed position for you.

But that's their money to waste

And tax revenue is the governments money to spend, by law. Like the other poster, you have suddenly found yourself in the position of claiming all taxes are theft, which is an absurd position that loses every time. This is a stupid argument.

Two bastard thieving corporations looking for good PR and no doubt looking for more deregulation so they can screw us again LOL. So probably GOP cronies too...

Jealousy is an ugly vice

They both got bennies from the Trump Tax Cut and At & T got repeal of net neutrality.

Net Neutrality was toast anyway dummy. Congress fought against it when Obama shoved it down our throats like Obamacare.

Only an idiot would pay to get what they KNOW they will get for free anyway.

You are free to quote me on that at any time

This is all so fun to watch...

President Donald J. Trump is making

fools of the left at every turn.

These stupid liberals think they can

use these tax breaks against the Republicans

Revenue collected from "personal" income IS theft.
That by no means argues against all taxes. There are still county property taxes, state taxes, local city taxes, license fees...some of which overlap.
The phrase you use..."the governments money" is typical of leftist logic that tax cuts amount to stealing from the government coffers. Exactly what the shrill Pelosi is screaming, like the lie that tax cuts have a cost. Bullshit...spending has a cost and that wasn't dealt with.
The fact that people will put less in the kettle does in no way translate into stealing from the kettle. Less revenue means spend less. The Republicans failed on spending cuts because most are just big government spenders like the dems.

That is correct, it is the governments money once it is in their possession. But there is a decision on how much they can take, and that is decided by who/whom is elected. Trump was elected, cut taxes and let us keep more of our money, and thank him very much!
