are sharing the wealth:
  1. Disney is giving 125,000 employees $1000 bonuses and investing $50m into an employee education program.
  2. Verizon employees will receive 50 shares of restricted stock worth $2500.
  3. JPMorgan Chase will raise wages for 22,000 employees, create thousands of new jobs and increase small business by lending $4 billion, part of their $20B investment plan.
These corporations credit the Trump tax cut for their largesse.

Oh, but Nutty Nancy Pelosi said it's "crumbs!"

Forgot to post the link to the 1/23/18 press briefing with Gary Cohn and Gen. McMaster. They give a quick summary of what they and Trump will be talking about in Davos and also take questions from the presstitutes.

Donald Trumps tax cuts could add over $2 trillion dollars to our national debt.

They will cause cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

They will cut over $1 trillion dollars in government assistance to needy Americans.

They will reduce veterans benefits.

https://www.military.com/daily-news/...bled-vets.html

They will cause cuts to education.

They will cause cuts to science and medical research.

ex.ex.


And if your goal is to give workers and middle Americans extra money why not raise the min wage and give the middle class tax cuts. But Trumps tax cuts give workers a 0.8% increase in income, give middle class Americans a 1.5% increase in income, and then raise the richest 0.1% of Americans income by 14.2%.

And in the end 80% of Trumps tax cuts go to the richest 1% of Americans.

You claim this is workers winning, but its just workers getting a few crumbs (while the CEO's of these corporations are getting the lions share of the money, and these corporations are giving workers bonuses for positive publicity and giving positive publicity to Trump as payback for giving them billions of dollars.)

Hillary would have raised our national debt to 85%-95% of GDP, while Trump will raise our debt to 110%-145% of GDP (and because of Trump's policies Americas children will have trillions of less dollars to borrow in the future.)

And Hillary "would (have) spent $350 billion more on college education, $300 billion more on infrastructure, another $300 billion on paid family leave, and nearly half a trillion on a variety of other initiatives."

While Donald Trump took all of the above money that Hillary would have spent on regular Americans, and Trump gave that money to CEO's and large corporations via tax cuts.

So I guess companies never gave bonuses and raises before dear leader Trump? Nobody invested in America and no jobs were created. Okay, got it.

The one percent know that an extra $83.30 a month will placate the rubes and let them believe they are "sharing the wealth." Because they really are that stupid.

And you can't fix stupid.

What do you want to happen? Do you think the average McDonalds worker deserves a 100,000 bonus just because?
If a McDonalds employee gets a 1,000 bonus while making 24000 a year that is 4% of their salary as a bonus.. if an employee is making 250,000 a year and gets 10,000 that would be the same 4%. What is your point?
