So Much Winning You'll Be Tired of Winning: Walmart Announces Bonuses, Hikes to Starting Wage Due to Tax Reform
BREAKING: Walmart will raise its starting wage rate for hourly employees in the U.S. to $11, expand maternity & parental leave benefits, and provide a one-time cash bonus for eligible employees of as much as $1,000 due to tax reform. https://t.co/Nbd2JzxBlC
— CNBC Now (@CNBCnow) January 11, 2018
One of the big flaws in the U.S. corporate income tax is that it encourages companies to shift revenue, profit, operations, investment and employment to other countries. The Republicans say a big benefit of their tax reform plan is that it would stop companies from doing that. But the Republicans are wrong. Their plan would do a bit — but not enough — to discourage American companies from continuing to use tax gimmicks to avoid U.S. taxes by pretending that they earn their profits in other countries. And it wouldn’t do much to discourage companies from shifting their investment, employment and operations out of the United States, or giving up their U.S. residence through a corporate ownership inversion. In fact, the Republican plan could make it easier. Everyone on both sides of the aisle agrees that the U.S. corporate tax system needs to be reformed, because the current worldwide system encourages a lot of economically wasteful tax avoidance. We need a fair tax system that will raise significant revenue without harming American businesses or the U.S. economy. It’s not an easy task. But while the Republican plan unveiled Thursday would lower the corporate rate to 20% from 35% and establish a territorial tax system, it wouldn’t do much to stop the tax-avoidance gimmicks. Why? Because there would still be an incentive to shift profits to countries that have a tax rate that’s even lower. A few weeks ago, House Speaker Paul Ryan argued that the 20% rate would have prevented an American company, Assurant, from moving its legal headquarters to Bermuda, which doesn’t impose any corporate income tax at all. But the last I checked, 20% is higher than 0%. The Trump-Ryan-Brady plan wouldn’t eliminate the incentive for U.S. companies to shift their operations or to shift their profits using creative transfer pricing techniques. Nearly every tax expert who’s studied this issue agrees that the problem identified by Ryan would remain even after his bill is approved.Well check this, stupid motherfucker: Assurant just announced it would in fact now remain in the US, despite liberal media "experts" claiming otherwise.
Breaking → Thanks to #TaxReform, American jobs are staying here. Assurant just announced it would remain in the U.S. and not move its operations to Bermuda. https://t.co/rUjL2XI2UZ

Technology companies will thrive from the hundreds of billions in cash parked outside the U.S. coming into the country this year, according to one Wall Street firm. "With the Trump administration and Beltway imposing a 15.5% tax on [repatriated] cash earnings vs. the previous 35% tax rate we expect a surge of overseas cash to come back into the US with large cap tech being the clear beneficiary for 2018 and beyond," Daniel Ives, head of technology research at GBH Insights, wrote in a note to clients Thursday. Ives estimates large U.S. technology companies have $550 billion to $600 billion parked overseas. He predicts they will repatriate $300 billion to $400 billion in 2018, with Apple representing $200 billion of that amount.All this may be contributing to the New Era of High Spirits:
In new Quinnipiac Poll, 66% of people feel the economy is “Excellent or Good.” That is the highest number ever recorded by this poll.

Yes, the media has been very odd over the last year. It's as if Obama's ascendancy was the most holiest of Presidencies and the only thing bad was that he could have done better.

More evidence of inflation. More money circulating at a faster rate through an overheated economy. Higher costs mean higher prices.
The Federal Reserve will be raising interest rates to cool an overheated economy. The Federal Deficit will go up because of higher cost of carrying twenty trillion dollars in debts. Higher deficits mean more borrowing.

I was just having a similar discussion with a friend last night about Trump and Churchill. My friend is one of those Trump Curious kind of guys, loves what he has been doing but is put off by his "lack of presidential demeanor".
I pointed out that many people had the same complaint about Churchill when he went against the popular belief about appeasing Hitler and all he did was save the world.
I think when we look back on the Trump years and we see how close the forces of international leftism and globalism came to taking control of this country and frankly the western world, Trump will be seen in a similar light.

A big part of this is that NONE of the media (with the exception of Fox Business) are covering this, they are trying to pretend that the growth isn't happening, the economy isn't doing much of anything. Therefore the news isn't widespread outside of people like us, yet, and it isn't getting a chance to affect political attitudes because a lot of ordinary people don't see it. YET.
and that's the big problem for the left, and the media. They can hide the news for a short while, but the economy eventually trickles into almost everyone's lives, and they begin to realize "hey, things really are getting better, even though my tv isn't talking about it" So that means that Trump is in for a long, slow gain, not a short sharp one.

I checked out of following anything election wise after the Indiana primary. Lasted until about 9:30 election night when Ace posted something about this gas meter on the New York Times site going crazy. Next morning I decided I had better see what this Trump fellow was really all about, so went to his web site (all the news of the day was the media explaining how they really didn't screw the polls up). My jaw about hit my desk, went home and told my wife that if he gets only half of what he had written there that I was going to have to rethink my vow of never having another employee.

Technology companies will thrive from the hundreds of billions in cash parked outside the U.S. coming into the country this year, according to one Wall Street firm.
If Silicon Valley use the money for more hiring of American citizens, combined with more geographic dispersal of the industry into flyover country, then good.

Nah I explained this before.
Under an administration that is actively hostile toward business, kept stacking more and more regulations, and passed massive expenses on companies (ACA in all its ways), businesses were understandably nervous and very hesitant to expand, hire, or take risks of any kind. From year to year there was no way of knowing what the next target was going to be, or if you'd be in the sights of the weaponized federal agencies.
So they had money, but not will to use it. It would have been unwise to investors and unsafe for owners.
With that burden lifted, and under a president that is extremely friendly to business, removing regulations, and lightening expense burdens on companies... they're finally breaking free with a huge sigh of relief.
Its like living under a potential avalanche, with the guy in charge throwing firecrackers at it. Now the avalanche isn't there and the guy in charge isn't trying to trigger it. Just that stress being gone is incredibly cheering and liberating.

This is my greatest concern. There are several jenga piles he can yank a piece out of. Easily. The housing bubble didn't have to pop in 2007, it just did because it was triggered then. It could have gone on several more years. It was inevitably going to collapse, but it was pushed to go off just as Obama's popularity and poll numbers were collapsing.

I did not renew my membership, because there didn't seem to be any point. Most things are just as inexpensive and sometimes even less inexpensive at Walmart.
(The one thing that almost changed my mind was check out as you go--that is, no going through the checkout line, just use your phone to scan the stuff you put into your cart as you put it in your cart, and then walk out the door. But that wasn't as helpful as it could be because there isn't a lot of shopping I could shift to Sam's Club from somewhere else.)

A) I've got the impression that Costco has been eating their lunch in the big-box market
B) Wal-Mart has been pushing hard for a while now to transition their logistics network and online retail into a viable competitor for Amazon. "Big-box" stores don't fit into the same niche, and are just a drain on the logistic capabilities they want to utilize in other ways.
So I wouldn't be surprised to see a continuing trend of Sam's Club closures over the next few quarters.

Yeah they were making money, they could have afforded to give raises, etc, it was just a really bad business decision because there wasn't consumer activity and the instability of the Obama economy just couldn't justify it. So they invested and parked money until such time they could see reasonable chance of stability and a business friendly environment.
In other words, these guys have been sitting on a lot of resources, ready for a chance to hire, invest, expand, and take risks and are now going to do it. Are doing it.
And they expect big returns, so they're passing that on to employees
Because as someone smarter than me said here a few weeks back: we're moving from an employer market into an employee market and you want to keep the good, trained employees where they are, not looking for work elsewhere.

The cognitive dissonance is getting more and more out of whack. The more reality sets in, the harder it is to do the mental and logical pretzel yoga gymnastics that it takes to ignore the good things that are happening under Trump.
These people can't even graciously accept a tax break. It HAS to be bad somehow, because TRUMP DID IT! I mean geez louise, even if you personally hate the guy, and I get that because hey, he can be a bit abrasive at times, but HOW IN THE HELL can you not like getting more of your own money back? And more jobs. And our enemies fearing us again. And being a bit safer here at home.

1 USD =1.25266CAD
Remember when the Euro came out and everyone claimed it was worth 2 dollars? What a freaking joke. Its still over valued, but coming down steadily.
But what I meant was: where's this trend of the dollar losing value? I am not seeing it against other currencies. Was this some Talking Points Memo/Kos story?

Apparently, U of Chicago has written a letter objecting to some of the Obama Center's plans for the park. In IL there are special laws for libraries and archives and the Obama Center ain't either of them. U of Chicago also shares that southwest area with the proposed center and they see no public benefit. Thinking of all the architecture nerds in and around Chicago, I'm surprised they haven't yelled more about the 'great white' whale of a carton on the lake.

Walmart might have good deals, but the clientele puts me right off, and they don't buy locally. It takes twice as long to shop there, and the checkout lines are epic.

Having a big family, I have done most of my shopping at Costco for years (and still do, even though not all live at home anymore). I've never had to buy 6 loaves of bread - just one, although I rarely buy any. I like that I can get roasting chickens for $.99/pound (two chickens per pack, but if I don't need to make two, they are individually packed so I can freeze one).
They have great prices on dairy and produce, for the most part (if you know your prices), and the turnover is very swift so the stuff is very fresh.
And I never buy those huge boxes of junk food, although it is certainly present in the stores.

Heh. I'm doing salary negotiations now. Guy at new HR asked for my last four pay stubs so they could verify what I claimed I'm making in my present position. No problem, I run a report from my current employer's payroll site and email it over. I get an email back from the HR rep saying he couldn't tell from those what I make as a yearly salary.

Since when has money been going elsewhere? Since 2008?
My theory is that companies and individuals feared Obama trying to relieve them of their cash if it remained within reach. They may say otherwise but actions speak louder than words.
Posted by: Decaf at January 11, 2018 03:31 PM (/3+Sg)
As I understand it, the money hasn't been "going elsewhere". It's money US companies made overseas. It got taxed overseas. If that money was to come back to the US (to hire more people, build more stores, etc), it would have been taxed again.
Companies that could afford to let it sit, did so. They banked on the tax rate coming down at some point.

That image is hard to read.
It might be "here's a girl that should be in the movies" with the girl going "oh my God its Harvey Weinstein, I'm going to see all my dreams come true" with nervousness and joy mixed
Or it could be "here's another one Harvey, have fun" with the girl going "this guy is super creepy and I got a ride here with someone, how do I escape this?"
I can't decide. But knowing him, its pretty awful looking.

Back Taxes.
Pay for the shit you stole, including the under the table wages, the Federal college grants, preferential college acceptance, camping out in the ER for free healthcare, ESOL bullshit, public school costs, auto insurance rates and diminishment of home values when you pack 25 people into a single-family home etc. etc.
I'd say a 50% tax rate for 5 years should cover it nicely.

I love the Target paper towels, although the ones I bought the other day were in a different-colored package than the usual ones I used to buy, so I might get rat-fucked on that. Got 8 rolls to decide, lol. And, jeez, I still have about 20 rolls of toilet paper (that I brought with me from LA). Now I have 30 more! I can never understand those people who buy 4 tiny rolls at a time.

.Yep, my buddy who owns an Irish Pub in CT shops there and at BJ's wholesale. Much better prices than what Sysco delivers.

The article I read said that 12 or 13 of the closures were only temporary as they turned them into fulfillment centers (something like that) to ramp up their online business. I'm very new to Walmart and I freakin' LOVE the place.

I am now in the midst of a conversation with someone (no, not a member of the church I serve and not spouse) by e-mail who just doesn't "get i"t-no matter how much I explain the same thing over and over Ever had one of those conversations where you feel like banging your head repeatedly on the keyboard?.

He ran on what has been described as a three legged stool platform,namely
Tax reform
Immigration reform
Regulation Reform
I can see a path forward where by 2020, he will have accomplished what he ran on. Everything after that is purely for the Republican party. If by then the Republicans haven't reformed themselves to be Trump when Trump is no longer there, another 4 years won't matter much.
I think he's already a VERY consequential President, so honestly, if worst comes to worse because of the decadence and decay of the US population, he will still go down as a unique success story.

The last time I checked, 20% is less than most of the foreign corporate rates - which these companies will be subject to if they remain in their foreign locations.
That was kind of the point to dropping the US rate down to 20%.
