Really? I guess these companies should just hang on to the money instead.

If just one person gained from this tax plan it's already better.

C'mon, even you can do better than your silly post.

Maybe some of those other companies are waiting to see the actual numbers from the IRS and then sit down and lay out long term plans?

Nah, let's not do anything rational.

They should not have gotten the money in the first place. They are using a tiny percentage of the money they will be saving to placate workers who have barely been keeping up for the past forty years. They are using at least twenty times that to buy back stock and increase executive compensation.

In the meantime the national debt continues to soar. And in ten years all those tax cuts for the middle class will be gone, while the corporations continue to profit.

Kind of the same attitude that prevails here.

If you pay no income taxes how do you deserve more? If you did get something you should be grateful.

What happens when a company buys back stock and increases executive compensation? They produce taxable transactions meaning the government will collect more taxes.

I bet the workers that are getting the "crumbs" would give you a different answer
Pelosi said it's a pathetic attempt on the Republican's to show the tax plan is working You and her are the pathetic ones.

Yeah...spoken by a career politician with a colossal net worth of over 196 MIL and whose congressional salary is about 193K, as I recall? Do you think this would make our favorite Auntie Nancy a one percenter?

You'll indulge me a short Nancy quote, won't you: "Something is wrong with this picture"?

So, it's clear that in your mind they are not sharing enough with the workers. I see.

What percentage should the company give to the workers? What is the fair (in your mind) amount?

Of course, you'll hide from this question, like you always do. Because without the business owner, the workers would not even be there.

Be honest with yourself, if they made the individual tax cuts permanent they would have nothing to give people down the road. This way after your dead capitalism will be stronger than it was when you were alive. Ask yourself if President Donald J. Trump is your last President in your life, just as people think they are driving their last car now?

So you are saying the common worker hasn't gotten shit in over 40 years, and is now tasting at a least a little?

What did dipshit in charge Obama do about the gap between the haves and have nots? Oh, that's right, it more than doubled under his watch along with the debt.

Quit posting.
