That's less than 2% of the income tax cut for one year. There's a reason it's called trickle down.
yeah, yeah, we all know you're one of those "give me, give me, give me, take it all from the rich, give it all to the illegal alien" types.

louder with crowder - that's a real authoritative source - I don't know how you guys make `it from morning to night.

By 2009, Crowder regularly posted satirical videos on politically conservative media, including Pajamas Media[9] and later at Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood. Crowder served as the master of ceremonies at the 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference,[10] and generated some controversy with a rap video he premiered at CPAC 2012.[11] In October 2012, Crowder's YouTube video parodying Lena Dunham's ad endorsing Barack Obama was mentioned in the conservative magazine The American Spectator.[12] In 2016, Crowder created a short video for the educational website Prager University in which he criticizes democratic socialism.[13]

that's quite a resume there boys - but when you are a right wing nut you have to take whatever affirmation you can get !

typical, can't discredit the facts so the left attacks the messenger. After all we can trust the NY Times, CNN and FBI can't we?

Ok. Let's look at the very first company...Bayer. And I'll show you how the PR stunt that you swallow works.

" Bayer originally said that the combined Bayer-Monsanto would have an annual agricultural R&D budget of €2.5bn." 6 x 2.5 = 15 billion

"It now says it will spend $16bn on agricultural R&D over the next six years, with at least half of that investment to be made in the US."

https://www.ft.com/content/3c143efc-a03a-300d-92a0-b564c5fd63f8

So, for your 138 million dollar per year tax cut you get a promise of 83 million per year in increased R&D. Best deal ever from the guy who makes the best deals.

Thats 60% of their tax cut 83 mill/138mill. Id say you do know that there are more expenses in running a business but sadly I dont think you do
 
I picked out the Hyundai/Kia one, because it wouldn't be the first time something in the auto industry was planned long before someone here claimed it was because of the tax bill and/or Trump (and I usually already know this, because I am a gearhead and closely follow the auto industry).

Sure enough, WV-FAN claims the RECENTLY PASSED TAX BILL has something to do with Hyundai/Kia's plans, and links a news article from January 2017. The news video talks about "President-Elect Trump", and the story text talks about automakers planning for the future because the President-Elect is tweeting about tariffs.

Do you even bother to research your links before you post? Because I get the feeling you copypasta this from some shitty political blog...

Anyway, here's some facts: Hyundai/Kia had been planning on switching small car production to Mexico...like every other car maker. Why? Because the profit margin is so thin on small cars (and sedan demand is dropping like a rock) it is pretty much impossible to make them in an advanced nation and make a profit. Hyundai/Kia had also been planning increased R&D in the USA long before Trump, because they have had an issue culturally getting vehicles just right for this market while designing them in South Korea. This should be no surprise, and it's why Honda and Toyota have significant R&D here in the USA. Hyundai/Kia is also investing heavily in SUVs/CUVs to meet this market's demand, and was talking about a third USA plant for this long before Trump. Also, there is some scuttlebutt about them wanting to get into trucks...I can't say I blame them, that's where the profits are. Hyundai/Kia also plucked some talent from BMW (including the head of the M Division!) to put some kickass into their products. None of this has a damn thing to do with Trump. And while automakers have reacted to his (now seemingly antique) threats about tariffs, he's had a year to tear up NAFTA...when the fvck is this really going to happen?

Just like the Lincoln/Ford Kentucky plant thing, which was bullshit (and I told you it was bullshit) and the FCA-Dodge thing, which was bullshit (and I told you it was bullshit), this particular claim made by WV-FAN is bullshit. And I don't have the time, or patience, to go through every damn link you posted-copypasta-however the fvck you came up with your list-whatever.

the only bullshit ITT thread is your post.

for starters, your italicized emboldened statement: Hyundai's plans had everything (itals/bold just for you) to do with trump, even if it was a direct result of his threats on tariffs. you want to debate whether their plans have something to do with tax reform? fine. but, don't make a bullshit statement, italicize it and embolden it for your left wing brothers, and present it as fact when it's not.

who gives a shit if the article is from jan 2017? that changes what? nothing except that perhaps it was a result of trump's talks on tariffs versus trump's tax reform. you indicated in your "facts" that Hyundai/kia had been planning on switching production in mexico because of profit margin. okay. you indicate they also talked about a third plant in the USA "long before trump". keyword: talked. talks became plans after trump indicated his plans with tariffs.

and, you're questioning NAFTA? link seems to indicate "the United States must get a better shake in an updated NAFTA deal or he will consider terminating the 24-year-old pact with Canada and Mexico". but, you, like all the other left wingers with shit for brains, think that everything he said he would do during the election had to take place in the first 12 months, or his presidency is considered a failure in your eyes.

finally, you're going to slur me for coping an article that you're going to claim is bullshit after you tear one link apart and totally fvck it up? if i'd have posted it without links, you'd have called me out even worse, and deservedly so. sounds like i'm fukt either way . . . i'll go ahead and link where I obtain the information instead of posting it as my own to avoid you crying about that.

you guys just might want to buy up on the tissues during your daily cries about what trump said or tweeted, going to be a long 7 more years for ya. me, i'll be investing in Kleenex.

#MAGA!

#2 on your list ....DOW

Your article is from December 09, 2016, a year before the tax cuts were enacted.

#3 on your list...Amazon

Article from 01/12/2017, a year before tax cuts were enacted.

#4 on our list....Walmart

Article from JANUARY 17, 2017, a year before the tax cut were enacted.


Face it, you don't know what you're talking about. You're just another cheetos puff.
 
anyone not realizing that old "talks", actually turning to new "action" by businesses, because of changes (Trump Admin is making) behind the scenes, and planning on moving forward is really trying too hard to discredit what is going on within the economy.

Obummer spent a large amount of time criticizing and threatening countless industries/companies (all to appeal to the same base of voters you now see bitching and bemoaning the increased momentum); made claims that certain business... "isn't coming back"; while literally perfecting the crony capitalism the same liberal groups whine about. He constantly talked down to leaders in various industries while certain decisions in the admin worked to undercut their ability to grow and prosper.

A truly pro business president talking confidently about the economy, talking confidently about America, talking confidently about the future, builds momentum and of course confidence by people who own, run, invest in business opportunities. The real pisser for some of you, is that it also builds confidence and optimism in the average person.

SMH... I mean we are now going into yr 2 of his administration and some people can't give him credit for any new jobs.This is in spite of CEO after CEO plainly saying the expansion or new jobs are a direct reflection on the policies of Trump.

And I'll plainly say they are lying. It's a PR stunt in an attempt to cover themselves from the majority of the people in the U S who know that the cheetos/GOP tax cut is nothing but a giveaway to the wealthy. ****Reminder: cheetos job creation in 2017 comes in 6th place of the last 6 years.

extra would you turn down a $1000 if your company was giving it out?
 
Even if it was known pr stunt?

Sure. I assumed we were talking about the present situation. So now you're going to declare I should refuse it on principle and I'm going to state you should refuse your social security on principle.

You're right. You're just showing your typical hypocritical self. These bonuses are evil but you're damn right I'd take the money.

How am I hypocritical for pointing out that ss needs to be fixed? I never once claimed people shouldn't get their benefits.

Then you can point out where I said the bonuses are evil. It requires a moron to equate stating the bonuses are a PR stunt to stating they're evil.

And yes, you're a hypocrite of the lowest order to support the lessening of SS benefits while supporting tax cuts for the wealthy.

Now I know how Rifle feels, some of you cannot even follow a conversation. Hyundai's plans have ZERO to do with Trump. They were already planning the new R&D in the USA, already planning to expand utes, already talking about making a truck, already maxed the production of their USA plants and were discussing a third plant...the only thing they have not done is built a plant in Mexico, and frankly has not made an announcement one way or the other (tariffs or not, the writing is on the wall for small car production in the USA anyway). IT'S ALL OLDER NEWS THAN EVEN THE DATELINE ON YOUR LINK, if you followed the auto industry you would know this. That's why I am here. All of this I already explained, but you honed in on "tariffs" and thought Trump did something. Read the entire paragraph, dingdong. Come back later and I might tell you about the new larger Kia SUV that is coming out...which has been in planning for three damn years (like any other new car).

who gives a shit if the article is from jan 2017? that changes what? nothing except that perhaps it was a result of trump's talks on tariffs versus trump's tax reform.

Well, you gave a shit when you linked the article as proof of the tax bill. Face it, you whiffed. Back down to the minors for you.

think that everything he said he would do during the election had to take place in the first 12 months, or his presidency is considered a failure in your eyes.

You're damn right I expect action on trade. After all, Trump came to MY state and ran his mouth about trade. He promised that on day one he would get busy on it (link below). Well, we are waiting. So are the voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin that he flipped with these promises.

Waiting to see what corporations actually do, like most rational people.

I do know my tax cut won't amount to a hill of beans, and if there were a box to check to keep my share and 100% spend it on infrastructure or debt reduction I would check it. As it is, I would rather get a lump sum check like W did, I can promise you I would spend that and put it back into the economy. I remember W's checks, the first one I bought new truck tires (tires made in the USA, to boot). Trickle it out to me? Eh, it's just a little more that goes in savings or investments.

bullshit. their plans definitely had everything to do with trump and tariffs. you even indicated as much in your post above: "the story text talks about automakers planning for the future because the President-Elect is tweeting about tariffs" your words.

yeah, maybe there's a bit of a "whiff" in the 32 articles linked and not all of them are a direct result of tax reform. however, many of them are. i didn't read every one them when copy/pasting the main link (copy/paste a link?!?!?!?! GASP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

wait, wait, wait, i thought it was russian influence on the election that flipped those states and gifted trump the election! damn, libs, make your fvckin minds up.

you do realize it all washes out in the end when you file your taxes and you'll still have the chance to put it back into the economy, right?

And the compounded effects on your long term wealth of you doing such are enormous to you personally over time. Thinking otherwise is why a majority of people struggle with their financial future. Why is it only the financially illiterate that seem to downplay anything other than a "lottery ticket" style payout for any type of return of their money, savings, investments??

You also understand that your decision to put your own money in the "bank" (regardless the type of account or purpose), results in it going back into the economy? Whether its in an account, or you spend every dime.......its going into the economy.
 
The hatred of trump is pure sin. Just as me using words I shouldnt use. Im praying hard to tame the one part of my body that cant be tamed completely,,my tongue. I am doing only what the Lord ask, to stay in the word. Extra next time your this way and go to wal mart. Best time ever for those folk. Bonus and pay raise.

you figure out how to tame your mouth, let me know and i'll try it on my crank.

I am talking about my personal situation and what I think of it for me. Working in case management for a non-profit means I make a LOT less than most of you.

Ten bucks a bi-weekly paycheck (about what I will get) doesn't mean shit long-term. Compound effects won't even make a jack bit of difference. It doesn't mean shit short-term.

And while I am aware studies have argued both my side and your side of lump sum verses trickling it out, I still think lump sums are more likely to boost the economy. We will just have to agree to disagree, because we can both link to evidence. I am going with my gut on that one.
