Very good, now remember your blanket statement about all corporations.

That corporations aren't individuals?

I apologize, I went back through the thread but I must have missed the blanket statement I made about corporations.

This tax reform bill favors corporations.

You're right. I'm sure the employees, shareholders and executives are evenly splitting the bonuses. How naive of me to assume the executives would be getting millions.


ATT announced its giving each of its 200k employees the same $1000 bonus in response to the tax bill. Comcast is giving $1000 bonuses to "frontline and non executive employees" so yes. You are still wrong.

Since you seemed to have missed my two previous posts...

How? Details please. And if your only response is "lowering the corporate tax rate", don't bother. Because you don't have an answer.

I'm just informing you not all corporations are evil millionaire CEOs, so what if the companies get to keep more of THEIR money.

Oh, well I already knew that.

I didn't mean to imply that every single corporation is a multimillion dollar venture. Any business could be a corporation. I do believe Bank of America is a million or billion dollar corporation, though.

Corporations are owned by people whether the ownership is direct by individuals holding shares of stock in corporations or indirectly by shares being owned by retirement plans such as in mutual funds, pensions, 401(k) or 403(b) plans (which are retirement plans exclusively for public educational organizations employees).

In the case of this thread's topic, individuals who are employees of a corporation are receiving a direct benefit of the tax cut in the form of pay bonuses.

So, if corporate taxes are reduced, individuals receive a benefit from the reduction.

After all, corporations are not the buildings they occupy nor are they only the executives of a company. Ultimately, they are people like you and me.

They could be worth trillions. Why do you have a problem with a company keeping their money?

This is not gospel. Individuals may or may not see a benefit from corporate tax cuts.

Those bonuses didn't go to tellers, clerks, or low level managers. They went to a select few upper level executives contracted to receive them.

Presumably you'd not hold to that statement now?

Why do you think this?



Because I'd rather individuals get bigger tax cuts than corporations? I guess I should ask you why you think individuals don't deserve to keep their money? We can both play this ridiculous game.

When corporate taxes are lower, where do you think the extra money goes?
