Moving the Goalposts: “Corporations won’t reward their employees”

Earlier this week, we detailed how Dems have moved the goalposts on tax reform—first by claiming everyone’s taxes will go up, then by backtracking and stating only some will.

Then, let’s not forget when they said that big corporations are the only beneficiaries of tax reform, and that these benefits won’t trickle down to non-executive employees.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) on Wednesday attacked AT&T by name for not passing along tax savings to its employees immediately after the telecommunications giant announced that it would do just that.

Well, Chuck, we have news for you:

AT&T announced Wednesday that it will give $1,000 special bonuses to more than 200,000 “union-represented, non-management and front-line managers” and invest an additional $1 billion in the U.S., citing the House and Senate passage of the sweeping Republican tax reform bill as its reason for doing so.

In fact, hundreds of companies have announced they’re rewarding millions of employees with increased wages, bonuses, enhanced benefits, and other types of investments as a direct result of tax reform.

The proof speaks for itself. Tax reform has launched our nation into an era of economic prosperity like never before—the beginning of The Great American Comeback.
