Bad bad idea.
The top dogs at companies don’t get most of their money in salary. Maybe a few million, with a bonus worth tens of millions.

“Rokita’s bill would make bonuses received by workers in 2018 tax-free up to $2,500”
Meanwhile I had to pay income tax on the $500 scholarship I got at a school (which was to pay for one non-degree course that cost $500 and didn’t cover registration fees or lab fees).

McTurtle will kill it because the puppet master Schuma won’t like it.

Try reading the story instead of just the headline next time.

Why just 2018? Bonuses are taxed at a much higher rate than regular pay. Somewhere between 30 and 40%. There is no justification for that. It is truly theft.
Make it permanent and allow us make the most use out of our bonuses.
To: smileyface
I think it is cool. However, how the heck do we replace that money in the treasury? Don’t say cutting programs because neither party is interested in that.

Somewhere between 30 and 40% I'm fortunate enough to receive a (nearly) regular annual bonus at my company. It's based on a formula of financial incentives and level within the company. Once the full bonus is calculated, I have to multiple the result by 0.6, to arrive at the net payout.
You're absolutely correct. Why is such a bonus considered special enough to take 40% and give it to the government?
