Wayne Tj Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Let's use this thread to track the benefits of Trump's tax cut.... Walmart, the United States largest employer, is using the tax cut savings to raise salaries and increase benefits. I don't yet know what I'll do with my tax savings, but when I do I'll post it here. I'm really looking forward to hear what Skitter's doing with his tax savings..... oh wait, does he pay taxes? America, the country so great that even its haters refuse to leave.

JohnP Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 So far very few large companies have announced investments or wage increases. And for for the most part they really can’t go nuts the companies are owned by shareholders. A CEO can’t just give the money out without consulting with the board and ultimately shareholders best to watch what happens over the next few weeks during quarterly earning calls. It’s likely every CFO will be asked by analysts “what is you new effective tax rate” and “what are your plans” it is widely assumed or reported that most savings will go toward dividends and buy backs. Which is a horrible outcome but let’s see s number of large banks report tomorrow and there willl be plenty of discussion on the mechanics for how the tax cuts are being assimilated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zybathegeek Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Pacific coast side of Costa Rica, you can fly the family down, rent a decent place on or near the beach, live and fish well, and still have cash left over. 28 mins ago, hamlet said: Some rich person is getting my tax break because I will rent their beach house this summer to go fishing.

zybathegeek Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 "With the corporate rate dropping I'll hire another person in the office." You can now afford another person in the office. If they are currently employed, then that is a job offering for an unemployed person, if they aren't currently employed, they can now be.
