Republicans always inherit a good economy from the democrats then fuck it up with their tax give away to the rich. Dejavu America Dejavu http://www.soyouknow.info/blog/goptaxcut 

Obama's economy was the worst in modern presidency. His regulations were destructive. First hand experience.

What do you call Bush economy... are you that stupid?

Which a democrat congress passed

It wasn't just the housing market, but the Republican-led #taxcuts in 2001, 2003 that contributed to a crashed economy.

Tax cuts don't lead; or have not led; to job growth or wage increases. The unintended consequences of tax cuts can leave middle-class families with an increase in their taxes.

Great. But that bonuse will be taxed at 40% and increase their taxes to pay from their income. Cool!

That's not how taxes work.

If my tax rate is 15% on my income and the bonus rate is what 25% what's that, 40% of my income being taxed? and if I am at that 15%-20% threshold, that bonus may put me in a higher tax bracket to 20%, then I may owe additional on my income. I am incorrect?

There's a lot incorrect here:

The "bonus rate" applies only to the withholding, not the actual taxes owed. When you file your return, the bonus is part of your total income and taxed appropriately, so if your marginal rate was less than 25%, you'll get a refund for the difference.

The 15% and 25% are not stacked.

And "moving into a higher tax bracket" affects only the dollars above the bracket cutoff. The dollars below the cutoff are taxed at the lower rate.

If you wound up owing the IRS at tax return time, it's probably because of a problem with your withholding. If you're not already making enough to be in the >25% bracket, a bonus should not increase your final tax % paid.

Well well well right on top of ATT announcement and the Trump train keeps on rolling making America Great Again !!

The ATT announcement was mandated by union contract and made a week ago. The taxes had nothing to do with it.

"following passage of the tax bill"

At &t can phrase it however they like, but the fact remains it was negotiated before today. Curious as to what percentage of their tax savings they are giving to employees. Wells Fargo announced a raise thing, costing 2 percent of thier tax savings.....

Might want to research a bit.... two are unrelated and seperate

"Think Progress"..... really ??? Go back and try again

It's got links to sources......
