[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Well this is neat. AT&T, Wells, Fifth Third... I wonder if any other companies will follow suit?

It's a start. Albeit just three companies and how big of a wage increase is it? I'm more interested in how wages for low level employees and middle management increase compared to CEO's and senior management.

I bet walmart follows suit tomorrow

Did the rate cut on pass through llc's make it or did they decide to reward the lazy and punish the job makers?

[puniraptor]

I rent out my primary residence and also am tax liable responsible for a vacation rental. This passthrough stuff should boost me from MENHY to MEDoJFi, right?

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

I'll be deferring a bunch of income until next year and getting a ridic return for this year

Guys, remember, the amount your accountant puts on your tax for as owed is the minimum you must pay. You can ignore your lower tax rate and pay more.

heh, birther dougie chimes in with some hot quips

Whole lotta excuses going on here for a misleading media in the tank for one party.... It's hard for liberals to comprehend the bias because they don't have to deal with it.

we hear it plenty from you spinning how this is the greatest presidential year ever...and we can look with our own two eyes he's 25% approval and done nothing (except this tax bill now, which he'd have to be a fool not to get with Rep congress tripping over themselves to get their donors a taxbreak)

You seemed especially upset at your tax break.

[The Big Train]

I don't think anyone has congratulated KSUW yet on this accomplishment.  Good thing we have Murphy's Law to explain this.

Gorsuch and other textual judges, slashing regulations, rescinding absurd DOE guidances, cutting taxes, booming economy and investments, ISIS in tatters. All in all a pretty good year for America and the Trumpster! And all you can point to is the Don's approval rating which, if anything, is just further indication of the constant negative drumbeat from the press.

Guys I have to tell you this 1st year of accomplishments toward American Greatness comes as no surprise to me

name 3 impactful regulations slashed....you know like the ones he named like Dodd Frank?    LOL giving "booming economy" and "ISIS in tatters" to Trump.

Great job proving my point though....appreciate it.

[The Big Train]

KSUW only projects what the propaganda machine puts out. It's his only source of information.

These aren't wage increases, just bonuses. They'll evaporate and companies will bump up prices to make up for the difference once it's obvious that the tax plan doesn't add demand like they thought it would.

This is the kind of bullshit that ksw will be bitching about when his kids schools come knocking

If I understand it correctly, and maybe I don't, this refinancing is exactly the bullshit I hate. It allows a district to extend a bond for another 20 years and tell the residents "vote for this and your taxes won't go up at all!" when the truth is that if the bond expired their taxes would go down. This is the sneaky bullshit that public educators pull all the time. So if it will now be harder for them to do that, great.

eff over my community to own the libs

Are you suggesting that massive progress hasn't been made against ISIS in the past year? Start here...

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/opinion/sunday/war-trump-islamic-state.html

Even the more liberal assessment from PolitiFact, while arguing that Trump can't take full credit (true), begrudgingly acknowledges the acceleration in progress this past year thanks in part to the new administration.

I equate this to when I twist real hard on a jar lid for a long time then hand it to someone else and they pop it open with ease....sure they opened the jar.

[catastrophe]

First of all, this is the tax thread.

Second, the best short term solution for ISIS is always going to be additional military presence, which Republicans are more likely to push for. Ironically, the best long term solution is probably the opposite, which honestly only a libertarian could really pull off.
