    He won't answer because even after he googles it he won't see how it actually helps businesses. That would require understand cash flows and time value of money.

    Despite the narrative of the tax bill being the death of America?

    From the article

    In the most explicit use of tax savings announced by any major bank, JPMorgan said it would raise wages for 22,000 employees by an average of 10 percent, to between $15 and $18 per hour, hire 4,000 employees and add up to 400 Chase branches

    Between voting for less money in American people's pockets and prioritizing illegals over American citizens I don't see how anyone votes for the dems

    My 70,000 person company got a company wide email about what we need to know about the tax changes this morning...

    First point in email,

    "Your paycheck is very likely to be higher"

    Well this thread aged well - And people really want socialism/communism?

    What a joke.

    I will lose all faith in our country if the people somehow vote in leftist ideologues into office in 2018. Where are all the reasonable Democrats?

    That is so weird. The tweet says "in response to tax cuts..."

    But then I clicked the article and it says:
    "Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Huggies and Kleenex, said on Tuesday it would cut between 5,000 and 5,500 jobs worldwide in an effort to reduce costs in the face of sluggish sales."

    Corporate layoffs at lowest level since 1990.

    How pathetic is it that 57 ignores the JP Morgan and Disney news, but scrambles to find some non-related bad news in order to make himself feel better.

    Are you that really partisan? Unlike Obamacare, the tax bill actually saves Americans money!
