But they got their $1000 tax cut bonus, so who cares about the fact that they got laid off.

so companies are not supposed to follow business practice that allows for better business operations? No one said tax cuts meant stupid business decisions would rule the day.


dumb thread.

Ironic...2017 saw LESS jobs added than just 2016 (and even 2015 I think).
Mostly PART TIME JOBS

Companies hire, and fire EVERY DAY. The fact is that more are hiring, than firing, and part of that reason is the Trump tax cuts, and cutting of needless regulation.

The lack of understanding of basic business, economics, and finance by many Progressives is just scary.

Many corporate executives were clear that the tax cuts would be used to buy back shares, pay off debt, etc.

Carrier used the tax cuts Pence arranged for them to install more equipment so they could layoff workers.

Apple is the only corporation I've read about that plans to expand. This has been in the works for some time.

Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind...don't matter.

Might want to consider donating the " Bridge " to the infrastructure package

You must have been on vacation when all the Trumpee threads were bragging about how this wonderful tax cut was going to mean more hiring and Yuge bonuses for every employee. There were even some companies who were reporting that they were giving Christmas time bonuses this year. What they didn't report, and what Trumpees do not want to hear, is that those same companies began to lay off hundreds and thousands of workers right after those announcements.

All of us knew the reality of trickle down, except for people drinking Donnies Kool Aide, that is.

If supply-side cuts worked, Kimberly Clark wouldn't have layed off 5000 employees. It has everything to do with consumer demand, not the tax rate of the CEO. You're the one that doesn't understand this.
