More corporate reactions to tax cut:

Fifth Third Bancorp will pay more than 13,500 employees a bonus and
raise the minimum wage of its workforce to $15 an hour after the passage
of the Republican tax plan that will cut the bank's corporate tax rate.

Fifth Third is yet another company to announce a bonus for employees
because of the tax plan. AT&T said earlier Wednesday that it would pay
more than 200,000 U.S. employees $1,000 each and increase its capital
spending budget by $1 billion.

Wells Fargo, meanwhile, also said it would be boosting its minimum wage
for employees to $15 an hour, which was prompted by the tax plan. The
San Francisco-based bank also said it would target $400 million in
donations to community and nonprofit organizations next year.
