Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Wait, that TAX INCREASE on QCOMers is after tax that you have to write a check for on April 15.

Since tax takes about 1/2, that $4,600 TAX INCREASE is like a $9,000 pay cut.

Dang those TAX and SPEND REPUBLICANS.

All this so they can get rid of Estate Tax for Billionaires.

And tax cuts for corporations that outsource out jobs !!

Sorry but people need to pay taxes to take care of people who don’t or can’t care for themselves. It is the Americans way.

The median income in San Diego is around $60k, if you are worth a darn at the Q you should be making twice that.

You need to pay more so that the average guy can pay less.

Don't like paying income tax? Get less income, otherwise shut up and pill your weight!

I’m so sick of people complaining about Trump....if he’s so bad then why did you elect him? It’s not like he proclaimed himself king. If you don’t like what he is doing perhaps you can run for President in 2020.

Then everybody who owns a house and pays a mortgage is RICH? I don't think so. Trump is raising tax on the average person who works at QUALCOMM. The wage we get is just MIDDLE CLASS. Now if you made $10 million a year, you are RICH and your TAXES GO DOWN. BUT if you have an average salary and $10K or $20K of SCHEDULE A DEDUCTIONS that you are losing under the REPUBLICAN PLAN, your TAX will GO UP.

If your taxes go up under the new tax plan, then you are rich and need to pay your fair share. Simple enough.

BULLSHEET! Your taxes will be lower....

The government you elect is the government you deserve.

"Yes, but what you forget is that businesses will pay less tax, so they will have more money to invest which will lead to more jobs for people"

I LOL'd so hard!

You must be fresh out of college or just simply clueless as to how corporations operate.

Or......you have been at the Trump Kool Aid stand far too long. I'm guessing that's the problem here.

Put down the Kool Aid, take a drink of coffee and now watch what ACTUALLY happens.

In North Carolina, my schedule A deductions are about $22,000 minus $12,000 std. deduction.

So my wife and I get $10,000 write off at 28% rate = $2,800 federal income tax savings.

I guess my taxes are going up $2,800 a year.

How the heck is this helping my bank account?

Whatever all you moron trickle down folks are smoking, please share. It's great stuff.

Businesses will of course pass their lower tax burden directly through to higher wages. So don't worry, be happy!

Hahaha trickle down economics. Bigger yachts, private jets and more babes for the elite! If people realize they have been pulled a fast one the next president is not going to be Trump.

That’s what you get for living in the state of California where illegals are move important than citizens.

These calculations are absurd in any other state

Yes, but what you forget is that businesses will pay less tax, so they will have more money to invest which will lead to more jobs for people, so more people will be able to buy more stuff, which means more profit for the companies, which means that everything will be great!

Trickle-down economics. Reagonomics. Read about it sometime, it really makes a lot of sense!
