I guess people don't get that one-time bonuses are... one-time only. The way these tax cuts are written, the corporations keep their windfall tax cut permanently. And they want the working class to celebrate a bonus? So, next year? They keep all the windfall and the people get nothing? Give the people are raise. Corporations essentially got a raise by the tax cut.

And that link shows "275 companies." Whoopdedoo. Might as well as say "2000 employees are reporting receiving one-time bonuses. See!? The tax cuts worked!"

There are a lot of companies and a lot of employees. The big piece of the pie is going to corporations and by extension the wealthy. And the rest of us get the crumbs and we are supposed to celebrate.

Good for investors, retirees, and those working at the companies.

Perhaps little Marco would like to tell us how he formed this opinion. It can take Corporations years to plan on budgets, purchasing and planning on what to do with the money.

This isn't that surprising.. they do more stock buybacks that prop up the stock market. I still maintain that we should outlaw the practice of stock buybacks.

Cost of money has been virtually zero for years. Giving corporations more money through a tax cut had no rational expectation of creating more investment. It just wasn't logical to think that it would. But it sounded good when the dotard was up there bellowing away, didn't it?

Pelosi, is that you? Crumbs I guess...huh...


You cannot say that for sure...you cannot tell me what the budget is for any company or how they plan to use that money...are they buying stocks back, sure...do tell...what has GE bought back and what are they doing with the rest? For that matter, pick any company you like and tell us what they are doing, since you have a crystal ball that marco seems to have...

Yet, that didn’t stop Trump supporters from giving him credit for corporations making expansion / hiring announcements in 2016 and 2017.
