Yippee, and it's the same Americans who worship him today, that will be looking for his head on a stick years from now when they figure out that this tax reform is a failure.

For those who are against the current administration should not take the 1,000 and if they do they should sent it right to the government as a donation for the government to spend on your behalf

Ok, I'll bite. Read me into the bullet points that make this tax reform a failure...but first...
Lets first factor in the stock market increase of 2017:
~Dow +25%
~NASDAQ +28%

These gains were predicated on the tax reform that just happened.
Now, as you're cataloging all the failures of this reform , remember to factor in the at least $4 trillion that will be repatriated into this country because of this reform.

Ok, Go...

I'm waiting for the APA to grieve this and say the company had no right to do it without consulting them first.

Reaganomics 1981

I see you offer Total and complete surrender ~ I accept.
I see that you've seen the light and agree with me.
For those of you that didn't live it , this is for you:

http://www.nytimes.com/1990/01/17/opinion/the-reagan-boom-greatest-ever.html
Under President Reagan, top personal income tax rates were lowered dramatically, from 70 percent to 28 percent. This policy change was the prime force behind the record breaking economic expansion. Interest rates and inflation also fell sharply and, so far, have stayed comfortably low - a further indication of the power and pervasiveness of Mr. Reagan's economic policies. The stock market. Perhaps the key indicator of an economy's booms and busts is the stock market, the bottom line economic report card. And here the record has been striking. During the period from 1970 to 1982, the stock market barely moved. The Standard & Poor's index of 500 stocks inched up about 35 percent during that entire period. But starting in late 1982, just as Reaganomics began to work, the stock market took off like a giant skyrocket. Since then, the Standard & Poor's index has soared, reaching a record high of 360, almost triple what it was in 1982.

hmm...it's an opinion and look who's opinion it is: an advisor to reagan.

what was george h. bush's opinion of it? voodoo economics?

i hope you never posted about the democrats and deficits....

Everyone get your complaints, praises, comments in before the clown and his cartoon show take over.

I for one appreciate it, but "if" it's correct that AA will be saving a bit over $5200 per employee and $1000 is the best they can do. Other companies are doing the same $1000. Where is Parker and his want for AA to be a leader. Nothing more than a follower at this point. I still hold out hope.

I've got a better question: What was JFK's opinion?
Here's the answer:




You see Reagan was a huge fan of JFK and well read on history. He just enacted what JFK believed would work, basically because it's worked every time it's tried. Also, the contrary to tax cuts, Socialism/Communism has failed in spades all over the world, yet they keep trying to usher it in here.



Thank you for playing.

Your answer here basically got me my first job building the C5-B and made AAs expansion possible getting me my 30 year career here.

True, but don't you find that level of naivete refreshing in someone his age? If at first you don't succeed (like Reaganomics) he needs to remember that doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is the first sign of insanity.

Excited? No. Happier? A little. Of course I will accept it, every little bit helps, right? I would rather the company take advantage of the tax reform relief and get our contract done. I too will thank Trump for the tax reform relief, as the accelerator for these bonuses, otherwise, they would have never came to us. As already posted above, if the savings really are over 5K per employee, they could up the bonus by 5K, and up the pay by 5K per year and still save money per employee, and contract done, lol...

For all the negative Nancys..you could have had Hillary which would have raised taxes and the company would be giving you zilch, nada, nothing. Thanks to the double DD's (Donald and Doug) business will thrive instead of killing it off.
