    and $1B additional US investment when Trump signs tax bill.

    If signed before year end, 200,000 ATT ee''s will get the bonus before year end.

    The tax bill allows the full deduction for new equipment if it is used to expand the company. That creates jobs. In info thinks jobs are created by taking more money from the company in taxes creates more jobs at the company. HTH
    Engrish please.

    So now you support a $15 minimum wage?

    That being said. What do you bet they pay the bonuses before year end?

    Bill doesn't go far enough to benefit individual investors. Capital gains taxes should have been eliminated entirely. Fuck the corporations. Give them a tax cut to spur growth, but not the lion's share of it.

    There are reasons to be skeptical of it but if you're a trickle down truther this is a victory. Long way to go though. Stop acting like you've won.

    ATT is smart. Pay the bonuses this year so they get to deduct from their tax return. While employees pay more taxes on it this year. And they were going to invest in 2018 anyway for 5G. So why not announce it as part of the tax package?

    Like Pavlov's Dog


    Why would AT & T want their employees to pay more taxes on their bonuses?
    Shareholders are more important than employees
    This will always be true. Always.

    I'm in a small corporation and part of my income is based on the overall year so this is a win for me on that level and on the personal level since my taxes go down and the standard deduction doubled. No kids and no mortgage. Just California income tax

    If the growth projections pan out the dems will have a lot of explaining to do

    It could always be better but based on what he ran on its a win.

    And if a corp can pay 15 dollars an hour minimum wage with out the feds telling them to that's a win as well.

    If we go into a recession in 2 years. Will you accept that responsibility and please to be doing the explaining?
