    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

    What does it matter to the shareholders what personal income taxes that the companies employees pay?

    Just when you were starting to come around, you go #teamhondo again.
    I'm not saying they want the employees to pay more in taxes. I'm saying the effect of their decision for the company to pay less in taxes costs the employees more in taxes.

    Read for comprehension.

    hondo looking to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory

    Welcome to the 2018 campaign - yeah Trump gave a giant jolt to the economy but still some corporation benefited so it sucks

    Or something. Wouldn't want to be on that campaign

    Hondo was against the tax cut but is now crying like a bitch because employees get a bonus base on the tax rate he didn't want to change

    good effort good job

    If you believe that ATT gave that bonus because of the tax cut, I have a burger stand in Montana to sell you.

    Now that net neutrality is repealed, they know they are going to be able to rape their customers more efficiently. That gift from the government, combined with free money from Trump, will trickle down to their employees. Maybe most of them will get a $200 bonus if they're lucky, while the CEO will get a $30 million dollar a year raise every year for the next 5 years. I'm guessing a billion dollars is chump change to ATT. Most of the tax savings these swindlers will receive will be used for share buybacks.

    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
