How does increasing the standard deduction $10,000 and lowering the marginal rate two percentage points for most middle-class tax payers result in higher taxes? Answer: it doesn’t. Now be sure and give us the dogeared talking point about this being a bad time to lower peoples taxes, because I’m not sure I’ve ever heard anything that’s dumber. you are still dumb, but more grumpy lately. if you live in a more expensive area, you will likely have a higher mortgage, higher taxes, etc. therefore the deduction would be higher. but now there is a cap on some of these claims, so some people will have to pay in more taxes than previously. ask your buddy ginger to explain it to you.

The fact remains the majority of the lower and middle class got a tax break, and I don’t need you or some second rate mortgage broker explain it to me, or worse, make it sound like it was a bad thing.

What if the company is doing so well that they increase bonuses and payouts? Would that be considered trickle down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be considered trickle down? your gullibility has no bounds. funny how you, and most other trumpsters, can never see this stuff for yourself. most of you are either naive, or lying, when you say the corporate tax reforms gave you significant pay and bonus increases.... "The new data allows us to examine nonproduction bonuses in the first three quarters of 2018 to assess the trends in bonuses in absolute dollars and as a share of compensation. The bottom line is that there has been very little increase in private sector compensation or W-2 wages since the end of 2017. The $0.02 per hour (inflation-adjusted) bump in bonuses between December 2017 and September 2018 is very small. Nonproduction bonuses as a share of total compensation grew from 2.73 percent in December 2017 to 2.78 percent in September 2018, an imperceptible growth. Moreover, whatever growth in bonuses has taken place is not necessarily attributable to the tax cuts, rather than employer efforts to recruit workers in a continued low unemployment environment." https://www.epi.org/blog/bonuses-are-up-0-02-since-the-gop-tax-cuts-passed/ Edited February 8, 2019 by Snoslinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmo Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Slinger - So you're company doesn’t give bonuses, profit sharing, stocks, options? None of that? How do they keep people from leaving? And the fact that company is paying less in taxes has no bearing on their financial performance?

Oh but they have changed, they bumped the bonus up from 25% of salary to 30%. And it was stated that this was because of the tax cuts. Also they’re paying out 150 % this year because the company did so well. Deny all you want, I’ll enjoy the fat check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re also in the minority. Chances are you’d have received that bonus anyway. Also, where was the excitement when the bonus was 25%? You dipshits crack me up.

Edmo Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Sales are actually down a bit this year but profit went up.

I’m just using a company I’m aware of as an example. 25% of salary is a pretty good bonus, and pretty standard when you get to a certain level.

Snoslinger Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Let me fill you in on a little secret spedmo. Employers are going to do the bare minimum to retain employees. Handing them massive tax breaks isn’t going to do jack shit for the workers. Just like the extra wealthy. How you can constantly get peed on and believe it’s trickling down honey is comical.

I don’t know of one person that got a raise or bonus that was any higher than the usual trends over the years. Including myself. Which matches the fact sheet I provided above.
