Tax Bill


One thing I find curious is how prone you guys are to pound your chest saying this is helping all Americans as individual companies announce these decisions, when in reality we're talking about a handful of major companies. As I said before, I'm not upset that these workers are getting additional benefits or that tax reform has helped them. I'm just not yet convinced, because it's still a sliver of the workforce being given raises/bonuses during a period in which public perception regarding the bill can be easily influenced.
 
All I can tell you is that I frequently speak with recruiters and the offers out there the last year are much better than the previous 5. Believe what you will but the wage growth in America is real.

The popularity of the tax bill has risen from 37 to 46% since December.

That is before people have seen the effects in their pay check
 
a new broom always sweeps good.

Let's check in in a year or so -- you might be right. It might have worked great
But taking a victory lap before it even goes into effect is what my mom used to call "tacky"

but you defend the policies of someone with a gold toilet
so hey ...

maybe one day you can have one too
 
The crumbs will be paid to 90% of home depots 406,000 employees

"This incremental investment in our associates was made possible by the new tax reform bill"

Did I read Arthur Blank lowered prices on Falcons tickets
and showed a profit ?

but it's ok to **** on it before it goes into effect? hmmm.....
 
I think it's worth considering that these companies have every incentive to credit the tax bill for each bit of positive news about hiring, wages, expansions, etc.

my stance since day 1 has been wait and see

matter of fact you just quoted me saying as much.

My point is the victory lap before anything has happened.
Could be great
Could be the memo redux

Let me add, Trumps touting the positive of the bill make me suspicious . As in Atlantic City suspicious

Trump claims he has ignited job creation.

Job creation in his first year was the LOWEST since 2010.

It was stronger each year 2011-2016.
