By my math that works out (assuming all 3000 are actually at minimum wage, which they aren't by a long shot) AT MOST 30 million a year or 15% of the 200 million plus bancorp is getting from the tax cut. .

Before you get your dick all hard and your voice hoarse from cheering trump over what is so far a pretty token gesture let's see what percentage of companies actually do what. So far the count is 2 (bancorp and wells fargo, banks are not major employers of minimum wage workers so 15 an hour minimum is not much of a giveback for banks) giving some part of the tax cut windfall to employees wages and several hundred that have announced major stock buybacks Like Boeing 18 billion, Home depot 15 billion, pfiezer 10 billion, oracle 12 billion, etc., etc. etc.. Executive compensation hasn't been announced yet and neither has dividends.

He did? So all companies are paying $15/hour now?

Awesome!

Aaah a socialist mad that workers are getting back money due to trump's tax cuts. How sweet.

This is terrible. How dare corporations give away shareholder wealth to it's slave exploited employees. Who the hell do they think they are?
With capitalists like that, who needs socialists.

Don't you think it's the corporations that are getting the fat tax cut that are socialists here? As always, Republican definition of socialism is screwed up, Remember Bush chose to do it directly, send everyone $300 check while giving rich people a huge tax cut and racking up deficits for the next almost two decades.

The citizen is getting a tax cut too. The tax cut that corporations get, trickles down to the 401K plans the citizen has, as does the increased wages and bonuses.

Does enough of it trickle down to compensate for the huge deficit that it will incur annually? I don't think. There is not historic evidence of that when the tax rates are already low.

Wait, weren't the Socialists here stating that those EVIL corporations will just give the additional profits to the CEOs and NOT let them trickle down the stairway to the employees??

Were they wrong? (again)

Does not have to.
