Walmart raises wages, gives bonuses after GOP tax cut

[Blazor]

It's safer than delivering pizzas.

He didnt even deliver, he just made them. Almost $4 an hour increase by switching jobs though.



Normally I would say the same, safer, but he has almost broken his fingers twice (smashed a nail to the point it fell off), and had the tire mounting bar whack him in the face. The safety glasses saved him, but they cut into his face, now they call him Scarface lol.



I use to deliver for 10 years, its not too bad but I did get robbed once with a knife held to my neck from behind.

Fifteen dollars an hour probably goes a lot further where you live.

Your taxes are lower, you don't have carbon taxes and your president lowered your taxes while our pm and premier have both raised our taxes.

True, but there are some things here too. Like Obama imposed that health mandate, up to $2100 fine if you have no insurance. Insurance rates have skyrocketed because of that. At least Trump is going to repeal the mandate, but prices are already high.



That carbon tax is a joke. Greed is what that is. Y'all should light some torches and break out the pitch forks!  



As far as our taxes being lowered, it depends. I think that mostly applied to businesses. We also have state taxes. Here where I live, they have fast food taxes, which are double the normal sales tax.

The basic exemption was doubled from twelve to twenty four thousand which means your son has been taken off the federal tax rolls.

Not so.



the middle class only shoulders a tiny part of the federal income tax. Over 70 percent of the tax is paid by the top 10 percent of earners. That means any reform of the income tax is probably going to affect them the most. Yet, this tax plan managed to make the income-tax system even more progressive than it already was.



The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) has released its distributional analysis of the final Republican tax bill. The bill provides even larger percentage cuts for middle earners than previous versions of the legislation. If the legislation is enacted, higher earners will pay an even larger share of the overall income tax burden than they do now. Our highly "progressive" income tax will be even more progressive. That approach is counter to sound fiscal governance and undermines the growth potential of tax reform, but that is what Republicans are delivering. Looking at JCT's table for 2019, second column, the percentage cuts are roughly similar across income groups from $20,000 to $1,000,000. But the JCT table slants the results by including payroll and excise taxes. The table under-measures the percentage cuts to the middle compared to the top. The table below takes estimated payroll and excise taxes out of the JCT data. It shows individual and corporate income tax cuts as a percentage of estimated individual and corporate income taxes paid under current law. Middle-income households will receive by far the largest percentage income tax cuts in 2019.
