Cutting marginal corporate rates and discussing that is a slight distraction. The delta that may occur or the degree of which that matters is what companies will see at the effective rates. That’s like me celebrating my marginal rate dropping from 28% to 20% and my effective going from 15% to 14%

Hopefully the changes can help smaller and mid sized companies compete as they will be the drivers of job hiring. If in the end it benefits larger corporations, they will consume the competition. It already happens, but it may get worse.
Thats the effn problem. So u want to cut corp tax so these "shareholders" can get fatter wallets? and the worker gets what? nothing.. Name me one business that will give out raises to EMPLOYEES before shareholders if they are given a cut now..

ill sit and wait. .

Well, if you're in the stock market and working, you're both an employee and a shareholder so Win-Win! I just got a nice raise in my last paycheck and my stocks are rockin'. Go Trump!

Not for nothing, but refusing to be a shareholder and criticizing shareholders for being successful is a bit silly. It's similar to a voluntarily unemployed person criticizing an employed person for having money.

No, it's more like refusing to be a slave owner and criticizing slaveholders.

CentuyLink told its employees 2 weeks before Christmas , there will be no Christmas bonus this year , Then a week later , there will be no raises next year, then a week later , there will be no Annual bonus next year, then proceeded to lay off hundreds in Jan 2018. Yet the top executives received millions in " integration bonuses " for the merger with Level 3.
It's not personal it's just business . The stock price fell to a new low.

So those executives shouldnt get paid any bonus if their employees isnt. If they had to sell out to Level 3 then their CEO or board didnt do business correctly and over paid their office people.

As an employer it makes far more sense for me to give a one-time bonus to my employees than a raise. If I can get good publicity for doing so, even better.

So u keep the savings? and not distribute it. I get it you want to gain some profit, but in the long term its better for the employee to get in a raise.
