It's an extremely useful tool as the weak-minded and groupthinkers fall for it every time.
Remember the smugphaggotry over AT&T giving out a comparative pittance in bonuses we saw in here?. Then I think it was Rocky that posted a story how AT&T turned around and laid off a sizeable amount of its force force not long after.

The problem is over 100 companies are doing things like that, so even pointing out that a few fired people like AT&T doesn't negate anything unless you willfully choose to ignore it. That's what makes it so funny.

This article is my favourite. Try searching wage or pay increase and you'll get little over ten results, search (one-off) bonuses and you get almost 200. mmm

Because they were down to their last 100billion or something.

What's wrong if 83% of the earnings in Trumptax goes to the top 1%ers? The plebs are getting something, somewhere; so it's clearly a "tax cut for the middle class". You sound like a socialistobamacommie tbh
Originally posted by EmperordmbNobody is saying that it is 'horrifying', just that it's not nearly the boon that some are trying to paint it as. These waves of one-time bonuses are pretty transparent PR stunts, especially since companies already had over a trillion in reserves before the bill's passing. And although America's corporate tax rate is indeed high by international standards, its reduction doesn't outweigh many of the other poor and underwhelming aspects of the tax bill. By 2025-2027, lower-middle income individuals will be paying more in tax, and even the most generous of economic analysis don't have the tax plan achieving the sort of prosperity promised by Trump.
Europe's average corporate tax rate is 18.6%, I don't see why America lowering it's corporate tax rate from the 30s to the 20s is so horrifying. In fact it seems a good move to make the country more inviting to business.

Not to mention, we already have an incredibly low effective corporate tax rate.

https://taxfoundation.org/cbo-report-compares-us-corporate-tax-g20/
At approximately 39 percent (the combined federal and average of state and local rates), the United States has the highest marginal corporate tax rate in the OECD and the third highest in the world. This is often cited as an important reason why the United States should reform its corporate income tax.
We are #1 in Statutory Tax Rates, #3 Effective Corporate Tax Rate, and # 4 in marginal tax rates for corporations.
Why do you say that the US has an incredibly low effective corporate tax rate when it is almost the highest in the world?
