100% of the credit goes to Trump. No way Obama could have done it.

I love this video of all these smuggly ignorant media types and politicians all claiming it is crazy to think Corporations would use these tax savings to reinvest in our economy.

Interesting math that Apple only has 250 billion overseas but are going to contribute 350 billion to the US economy. How does that work exactly?

They said "over the next 5 years". It's not like Apple won't earn any money overseas over the next 5 years...

$250 billion + future 5 year profits = $350 billion.
They could also borrow if they so desire.

Don't count on it. These Progressives live in such an echo chamber they are incapable of any introspection or shame. That's why they have moved on and are now losing their shit over shithole comments or Trump's physical fitness.

Just amazing listening to all the cocksure stridency of the people on the video "Do you live in a fantasy land"!

This will be an unqualified success, and will net billions per redirected dollar, exactly like the Carrier and Ford press releases did!

If you don't believe, you hate AMERICA! and need to FUCKING! DIE!


Believe it. There are over 200 Corporations (and counting) that have already raised wages and handed out bonuses citing the passage of the tax reform bill.

That's already happened.

Giving out 10% of tax saving ONE TIME and keeping 90% is supposed to be a great deal for the working man? Stupid trump supporters.

Just pretend this doesn’t come from the deficit which will have to be paid by their children’s and grandchildren.

The press release said so, so it's exactly as if GOD! made it happen.


OK, 200+ massive firms like Apple, American Airlines, Waste Management....... are all lying and are going to renege those bonuses and pay raises they publicly announced with great fanfare?

Did you see that many of these firms are also raising their minimum wage and increasing benefits.......let alone hiring new employees?

This is a bad thing somehow?

Agreed that the deficit is a problem. How about we spend the remaining 3 years of the Trump administration focusing on SPENDING and reforming our government and entitlement systems? Are we to really believe our government is firing on all cylinders with no efficiencies to be found? Are we to really believe that our major entitlements don't need massive reform..........or do you really think we can just raise taxes more to cover everything?

They say 16B capex this year. Possible but not so huge at Apple scale.

20   Heraclitusstudent   2018 Jan 17, 6:01pm  

They are talking of 20,000 new jobs. x 200K that's $4 billions.
The rest is bonuses for execs.

So that means $4 billion EACH YEAR just in new hires, another $1.5 billion in benefits EACH YEAR, then more money spent on building the new campus, and probably some acquisitions of new tech. The money left over will probably be spent on executives and maybe some of the 120,000+ Apple employees. Maybe some will be stuffed in mattresses too?

They will be spending massive amounts on factories, R&D, acquisitions, new campus, etc
The jobs created by other companies that Apple works with will be incredible.
$350 billion is more than the GDP of most countries.

wow, over 200 corporations out of 1.7 million c corps and 7.4 million s corps. That's impressive.

Apple Inc. announced a series of plans Wednesday that were celebrated as promises to hire thousands of workers and bring home all of its overseas cash.

Well, not necessarily.

Apple AAPL, +0.28% said in its release that the company planned to “create over 20,000 new jobs through hiring at existing campuses and opening a new one.” The key word there is “create,” which Apple really likes to use when discussing jobs: The company even has a portion of its website dedicated to “job creation” that claims it is “responsible for 2 million jobs” in the United States, most of which are jobs “attributable to the App Store ecosystem.”

"Let me be clear, there are large parts of this that are a result of the tax reform, and there's large parts of this that we would have done in any situation," Cook said.

So this was all planned prior to the tax reform. Except for repatriation of all that cash to pay big, juicy executives bonuses

Can't stop the winning! This tax reform will turn out as one of the biggest boons to the economy. MAGA!

From that link:

Exit polls from the 2016 presidential election show that only 4% of black women voted for Trump while 13% of black men voted for him, according to CNN.

Broken down by gender, Trump's support from black women has nearly tripled from 4% to 11%, while his support from black men has nearly doubled from 13% to 23%.

If this were REALLY a potential outcome, the Democrats would stridently support measures to keep illegals out of the US and deport the ones currently here. A low supply of workers can only result in increased wages. Somehow I don't believe Democrats really care if joe blow makes $5 an hour or $25 an hour.

Nope

Tim Cook tells Cramer: New tax law helped pave the way for Apple’s massive investment plan.

The new tax law helped paved the way for much of Apple's plan to contribute $350 billion to the U.S. economy, Apple CEO Tim Cook tells Cramer.

After the tax bill's passage, Cook believes there's plenty of money to go around, according to Cramer.

The new tax law helped paved the way for much of Apple's plan to contribute $350 billion to the U.S. economy, Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC's Jim Cramer.

Cramer noted that Cook has been pushing for reforms like this for some time. Reflecting on Cook's comments, Cramer said Thursday that he felt the Apple CEO was reaffirming "the idea that this is a new regime, and certainly there's lots of money to go around."

I'm sure that is right. With sales growing, Apple would have invested and created more jobs. However, with the repatriation of all those billions, Apple will be creating even more jobs, not to speak of the $38 billion check they will be sending to the treasury.
I don't understand why you guys refuse to acknowledge this is a good thing? What good is blind political loyalty when you cannot accept the good Trump is doing?
It's best to be an independent like me and tell it like it is.

Looks like Trump is doing better for the Blacks, than Obama. The secret lies in capitalism, not socialism.
