        - Wells Fargo and Fifth Third Bancorp increase their minimum wage to $15/hour.
        - Nexus Services gives all employees 5% raise and looks to hire 200 more workers.

        What do these stories have in common?

        Explicit mention of the corporate tax cut as the driving motivator.


        [sarcasm]I did not realize that everyone who worked for these companies was ultra-wealthy! What a give-away that only the rich will enjoy! How horrible that these nasty selfish corporations would treat their employees so badly! People will die! [/sarcasm]
        $1000 bonus lmao, something they probably gave their employees in previous years. Let me know when they actually pay everyone a living wage.

            We give a wide berth in these threads because people know what they're getting into by posting in here. However, leave the personal stuff - particularly about kids - at the door.

              Things to come.

              There is the amazing howling shameless lameness of it, but also the reflex towards self-congratulation and self-celebration; the tone-deaf vanity, but also the deep and innate clownishness of that vanity’s performance. The ridiculousness of all this is disorienting in a different way than the odiousness of the GOP tax bill, but it all resolves in the same way, and towards the same point. It’s a reminder to take the rich at their word when they tell you that they don’t care about you. It’s a reminder that their wealth has made them both dumb and weak, that it’s made them strange and cruel. And it’s a reminder that they want the rest of what you have and that they would also like you to congratulate them, in a respectful way, on how stylishly they are stealing it.

We simply want to put the guardrails back up and allow kids who weren't born rich a chance.
                We haven't been capitalist for decades. We are a cronyist economy presently, where corporations use the government to regulate themselves into prosperity and push others out. In an actual capitalist economy, anyone would actually have a chance through hard work and perseverance.

                      By the way, President Obama was in favor of lowering the corporate income tax rate, it was part of his campaign in 2012: he proposed to reduce the rate by 20%.....

                        With the right personal income tax structure I would be in favor of reducing the corporate income tax to zero.

                          LOL. Yeah, about that...

                          There’s no doubt each of these companies is, corporately, extremely happy with the passage of this bill. It pushes through a major cut in the tax rates for corporations. It’s just as obvious this is a choreographed effort to validate administration claims that the bill’s payoffs to the super wealthy will actually be passed down to ordinary Americans. It is just as obviously currying favor with an administration that has repeatedly shown a ready willingness to act capriciously with its regulatory powers – to reward friendly businesses and punish those who don’t show reflexive support.

                          Despite the President’s behavior and that of his obsequious appointees and confederates, the US is not yet an authoritarian strongman government. But that is clearly what the President aspires to and feels is his right. But it is in the nature of authoritarian government’s to secure lockstep alliances with major corporate entities seeking favor and preferment. This can all happen very quickly.
