This is what Trump's all about: simple results. He pledged to help the American workers and he's helping the American workers.
And corporations wasted little time getting down to business, giving out raises and special bonuses literally right after the bill passed the House and Senate.
Companies including AT&T, Boeing, Comcast, Fifth Third Bancorp, Wells Fargo and others have set the opening salvo rather high.
Take the large regional bank Fifth Third: It is raising its minimum wage to $15 for all employees and giving a $1,000 special bonus to more than 13,500 employees. That’s one heck of a Christmas gift, and First Third said it was specifically due to the tax cut.
AT&T made a similar move, giving 200,000 employees a $1,000 bonus and investing an additional $1 billion in capital spending.
“This tax reform will drive economic growth and create good-paying jobs,” said AT&T Chief Executive Randall Stephenson.
Comcast made a similar pledge to give $1,000 bonuses to 100,000 nonexecutive employees. That’s another $100 million in the economy, and the company said that it was “based on the passage of tax reform and the FCC’s action on broadband.” That’s a bonus based on tax cuts and deregulation.
