DESPITE HUGE CORPORATE TAX BREAK, FEWER THAN 1% OF AMERICAN WORKERS RECEIVE A BONUS

[luckyshot]

The front page of RT, I mean, Fox and Friends, is currently running this "breaking news" story: "Anti-Trump Activists No Match for Tax Reform-Fueled Bonuses"
http://www.foxnews.com/

How about this for a headline instead:

DESPITE HUGE CORPORATE TAX BREAK, FEWER THAN 1% OF AMERICAN WORKERS RECEIVE A BONUS

Why doesn't Fox run that, since it is closer to the truth?

EDIT: Notice, I'm not arguing that the Stock Market isn't doing well. The stock market has continued it's trend from previous years.

My point is that that Faux News headline is ridiculous-- a few companies are giving out bonuses and they are publicizing it like most American workers are getting them.

What is your argument? Have companies not announced bonuses for many employees based on the tax plan?

From the article “capitalizing on the U.S. tax overhaul to stay competitive in a tightening labor market.” That is one of the most positive, encouraging statements you could possibly hear from a major employer.

My company took away my bonus last year and their revenue also doubled in the same fiscal year.

The counties that voted for Hillary Clinton account for 65% of the the nation's GDP.

My 401K has seen a huge increase since Trump took office and started removing all the stupid regulations placed on American companies. If this trend keeps up I will have an extremely comfortable retirement in 15 years.

Minus my contributions the bonus is approx. $90K

That's where we keep the kind robots. Most of that money just goes in some oligarch like Jeff Bezos' pockets. Guess who he supports?

The Clintons are the party of american oligarchy.

Can I post my Vanguard account? 20.8% growth on the 2017 yearly summer I just recieved

I think Trump is a fool, but the economy by classic metrics is booming thanks to their confidence in him and slashing corporate tax rate. I’m willing to give it a chance and see how it goes and if it can be sustained

LMAO @ attributing the stock market's success or failure to the fucking president.

Or tightening labor markets. No one really buys that anyway (you can tell by looking at their reactions to the same trends in 2015-16). Sad the way people are willing to debase themselves in the name of partisan cheerleading.

Sounds like a rare case of delayed trickle-down. Hang in there. I'm sure it's right around the corner.

Shareholders get the bonuses workers used to get.

The big bonuses being celebrated by corporations are propaganda - they make the big announcement that Trump then retweets, but then slashes their workforce by hundreds or thousand plus a week later.

Damn that sucks. I still got my normal bonus and an unexpected raise this year. The raise was unexpected because 2 years ago I used another company to get a massive raise from my current company so I didn't expect a raise for at least three years.

You have honestly ruined this gif.

What people don't realize is that the economy is growing faster during Trump's term than during Obama's. The rate is bigger.

Let me put it in terms that you partisan hacks might understand. It's like global warming. The rate of temperature warmth is greater in the past century than centuries before it.

Yea the tax brake did nothing.

This will lead to increased minimum wages in other companies.

1. *Break
2. "[Walmart] Employees who have worked for at least 20 years will get a $1,000 bonus." Lol, where should I cream my pants?
