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.

As much as Harry wants to bitch about it Trump is punching out a lot
of his campaign promises. It is understandable because they were
things he did not want, although I bet he takes the extra money from
the tax cut instead of contributing it back to the government.
I wonder if he is disappointed that ISIS is on its ass and that the
economy is doing well?

Heh. You and I have similar sleep habits based on the times of our posts.

Yeah, like him or not, Trump is doing what he said he would do. If the
daily left wing blasts and left wing media weren't complaining so much
his favorable rating would likely be a lot higher. I suppose that's
what the "resist" movement is all about. Ignore the facts and just resist.
