See, the problem here is that the people who earn 90% of the money should also pay 90% of the taxes. But they don't because their tax burden is smaller than less wealthy people. How is that fair?

All a PR stunt.  Wow 1 time bonus check of 1,000 dollars (after 35% capital gains tax on the bonus check they probably will get about 700 dollars) Amazing...  Let's just look at what some other companies did for their employees in 2016 before the asshole took power.

"General Motors' 52,000 hourly workers will take home profit sharing checks of up to $12,000, after the U.S. automaker racked up a record year in 2016, including $12 billion profit in North America.

Ford, which earned $9 billion in North America last year, will pay an average $9,000 to more than 56,000 unionized auto workers. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will pay $5,000 extra to some 40,000 unionized workers after posting a $5.1 billion profit in North America."

Those fucking unions though right with their damn profit sharing demands.  Good thing a lot of states now have laws like right to work to keep those pesky unions away.

There tax percentage is higher the more they earn. The tax burden is higher with them, not less.

Someone was at a symposium that had like 50 high executives from fortune 500 companies and other large companies.  They asked the presidents/vp's if they would invest the savings in taxes for new infrastructure...basically spending on new things.  Like TWO of them responded that they'd use the new tax money to build. The other 48 said they would spend the money on buying back stock and giving higher dividends to their stock holders.

CORPORATE TAX BREAK...PERMANENT 20% (unlike the personal ones for middle-income families that will last for five years before going up again)....USELESS.

The Republican Senate has ONE HUNDRED PERCENT screwed up "the biggest win they've had in years".

*surprise*

Ummm buddy....the tax break doesn't even show up for another year. Whatever AT and T is doing now has nothing to do with that ridiculous tax break.

Uhhh do you even pay attention to the news?  His approval rating is 35% which is the lowest any president has EVER been at any time including Nixon.  You must have no post-seconday education because his typical followers...like 60% of the people still for him...none of them has a college or university degree.  I'd say "kind of makes you think" but that'd be wrong because it sounds like most of his insane followers have a hard time thinking.

See, the problem here is that the people who earn 90% of the money should also pay 90% of the taxes. But they don't because their tax burden is smaller than less wealthy people. How is that fair?

52,000 x 12,000 = 624,000,000

9,000 x 56,000 = 504,000,000

1,000 x 200,000 = 200,000,000

So yes, not as much. But it is still a substantial amount. Go and ask those 200,000 employees at AT&T what they think. See if they would rather not get the $1,000 or not.

Don't forget they also said they will be investing $1 billion as well. This all on just a bill being passed. Ford and GM seem to be better companies to their employees for bonuses. The article I posted flat out had a congressman talking how AT&T sucks as giving their employees bonuses. I looked and they had like 24 billion profit in 2016. So double that of GM. I have no idea if they gave their employees anything.  

But quit downplaying this. As I said already. I mean within hours of the tax cut getting announced multiple companies come out with statements and plans for major bonuses for their employees and plans to invest in millions of dollars in the U.S. and saying it has 100% to do with the tax cut bill being passed. I guess if we ignore that, then yes the tax break has nothing to do with what they are doing.

You sound like a media sheep. Trump could walk to your front door and hand you a $1,000 check and you would find some way to bash that as being evil and bad. Why are you so upset that everyday people are getting money due to this tax law? Heck even a shitty company like AT&T gave their employees a huge bonus and are investing in capital in the US. That means more jobs in the US, not jobs in China or wherever else.

And how much did the employees pay in union dues that year?
