Some of America’s biggest companies are launching new initiatives to benefit employees after the GOP-led House of Representatives approved the largest tax reform bill in three decades this week.

The $1.5 billion tax bill reduces the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and changes the way the U.S. government taxes companies that also operate internationally. The new plan, which is expected to be signed by President Donald Trump by January at the latest, is being hailed as a major victory for corporations and wealthy Americans.

FOX Business breaks down how employees at some major companies are benefitting from the corporate world’s good fortune.

Just wait for POTUS to start jack hammering Democrats for not supporting the tax bill. Get your popcorn. LOL.

Not possible! I have it on good authority (from many Democrat congress critters and leftist pundits) that the Trump Tax reform package is a scam and will raise taxes on the middle class, while the rich get richer. Even Neil Cavuto and his pal Charlie Gasparino, along with their gal pal A.B. Stoddard say so. I swear, even FBN is getting bad these days...

Trump hasn’t signed the bill? The article says he’ll sign by Jan. He’d better do it before then.

I know! And yet Comcast, AT&T and others are giving each employee $1000 as a bonus. That’s on top of tax savings, so sorta makes liars out of some folks doesn’t it?

I can’t stand Cavuto! Haven’t watched him since Trump won the election. Gasparino and Stoddard are liberal nut jobs for years and I bet a dollar to a donut that they all voted for Hillary!

I am down to two programs on FBN - Varney and Lou Dobbs!

I don’t think he signed it.....there’s a serious catch if he does it before January so they’ll wait.

These leftist pukes just can't help themselves. Not that it doesn't benefit these two groups, but it benefits ALL Americans to some degree particularly the hard-working wage earners.

Gawd, I hate the media
