how is this still a thing how is this still a thing
name any other country I challenge you in the comments down below right any
other country that has an actual democratic system that functions this
way how is it even possible a government shutdown it's it's completely ridiculous
the way it works is they have essential and non-essential elements the essential
stuff is stuff like military FBI social securities you know important stuff and
the non-essential stuff is stuff like museums national parks IPOs like initial
public offerings if you have a company you can't go public during this period
because the government is shut down it's completely insane that this is the
system itself and the government loses a billion a day when it's not active like
this it's it's it's ridiculous and then there's not even a plan all of the
individual departments can do whatever they want they can kind of create their
own way of running things take the passport industry for instance when you
land in this country now it's gonna be ok for a couple of days because of all
the fees that people pay when they come through customs they can't live without
government funding for a couple of days but after that it's gonna be a tight
ship like just expect to be waiting for a very very very long time it's
completely ridiculous to have a country that runs this way it just it just
doesn't seem plausible but this is not even what we really wanted to talk about
today I just I just had to put it in here cuz it's it baffles me how is this
not changed what I really want to talk about today though is this look folks
before we go too far I've got something to tell you
excuse me but I've got something to tell you first thank you for ruining my life
Ashley
everybody's always blaming me for everything the Federal Reserve will have
the biggest fiscal stimulus we have ever seen we are in the midst of a serious
financial crisis this is the story of the greatest financial crisis of our
time the one that is on its way they spent hundreds of billions of dollars to
show that they were doing something but not properly designed and not as
effective as it should have been when they start losing money hey we gotta get
back in the game hey let's create another bubble well the
problem is they never actually cure the crisis right they just give alcohol to a
drunk it just you know sets them up for you know a bigger hangover and that's
all we've done and that's all we're trying to do and so I know at some point
you killed a patient I haven't seen anything like this probably since just
before the last crisis 2006 2007 everybody was optimistic on the market
then now they're on again singing the same old song but it's the same problems
now that they ignored back then only much much bigger the difference being
it's not going to end with just another financial crisis it is going to end with
the dollar crisis you are a world-renowned forecaster people watch
what you say you've been doing it since 1980 and you are the publisher and
editor of the trends journals but Jared I'd like to start off today with the
issue of the economy are we in a very very rosy economy right now with no
worries like Wall Street would have us believe and some of the reports well
Wall Street isn't the economy it's it's the very separate part of what this real
economy is you have three people in the United States Warren Buffett Jeff Bezos
and Bill Gates that have more money than 60% of us combined then
look at the equity markets 90% of the equity markets are owned by 10% of the
population the rest at 10% owned by you know the the so-called middle class so
when you look at the equity markets and look at the real economy it's two very
different worlds median household income is below 1999 levels people complain and
you keep hearing it this is a failure of capitalism
this isn't capitalism in capitalism there's no such thing as too big to fail
that's called fascism the mergers state and corporate powers and that's what we
have right now so people keep asking me is a stock market a bubble well of
course it is but they keep inflating the bubble and the bubble is going back
again they're letting them repatriate the multinationals all this overseas
money and now what are they going to do with it well go back to when George Bush
did that back in 2004 ninety-six percent of the money went into stock buybacks
and that's what you're seeing now you didn't have to lower the tax rates of
corporations from 35 to 21 percent because look at the equity markets and
look at the corporate income levels they're very high they're doing very
well we didn't need to boost them because they're not putting that money
into capital expenditures they're not putting it into research development and
growth they're putting it into stock buybacks that's why the markets keep
going up look at the wage levels if you what are you looking at 2.5% increase a
year that doesn't even keep up with inflation so know that for the average
person life is getting more difficult look at the debt level of credit cards
it's at an all-time high the Fed can to a degree control the interest rates for
a long time but what happens when people overseas won't buy our dollar or they
reject the dollar isn't there a time where interest rates that may become
overwhelming we're just the Fed saying well we have to have low interest rates
where they actually lose it and they can't keep the interest rates low yes
it's going to happen at some point but again when you look at how much they've
raised interest rates even if they raise them another three or four
times this year now some people are saying four times
accounting for inflation you know you're still at very very low historic interest
rates so yes this is the beginning of the end but there's a stretch in it it's
so we don't see it collapsing right now at best were we should say we see about
a 10% market correction because it's gone up so quick Tony Robbins welcome
back to continue guys I guess worried you know we have our money in the market
yeah what happens you know like right now I mean the markets doing really well
yes do we take our money out now that's why I wrote this book I wrote this book
as I wanted to protect people because there are crashes coming now whether
it's six months from now twelve months 36 months no one knows you know Warren
Buffett said if you listen to market forecasters their only purpose is to
make you know people that tell fortunes look good here's a couple things you
should know number one there's a new high on average every month most people
have no clue see you're all broke records broke records we're in a
situation right now that's very artificial it's a situation where the
feds around the world have been printing money so nobody knows what's gonna
happen there's this tremendous fear that's in the marketplace so what I
wanted to show people was look when the crash comes first of all correction
comes every year the average one is two months long and any cost you 14% if you
sell but if you don't sell you're fine there's a bear market about every five
years we've gone eight years without one that's why I wrote this book because I
want to show you how to protect yourself when that bear comes but more
importantly how to take advantage of it because it is the greatest opportunity
in your life what you need to know is that every bear market that's ever come
they average a year they usually cost 33% but if you don't sell they don't
cost you anything and in two centuries of American history please hear me if
you're listening at home in two centuries every single bear market was
followed by a bull market it remembers 2008 oh my god the market dropped 35 40
50 percent at Pete's trough it went up 69% the next 12 months and here's one
more thing you think about timing like right now you're saying should I get out
of market yeah right so let me answer that Charles Schwab and JP Morgan did a
20-year study these in the last 20 years the S&P 500 the market the index it's
gone up 8.2 percent per year which means you're doubling your money you know like
every nine years doing pretty damn well but here's the challenge if in 20 years
were out of the market on the 10 best trading days in 20 years then you mark
your value went from 8 percent to 4.5 cut it now if you missed the top 30 days
in 20 years one and a half days you lose money so keep here you're the most
dangerous thing is not to be in the market right and it isn't just the
market right you need a series of investments that diversify nobody should
put all their money in the market we're all Schwab did a study they found what
if you bought on the perfect day of the year when the market crashed and you
bought that day the lowest level or what if you were on the worst day the peak of
the market and it crashes the next day or you go on cash which is what so many
people are doing does their friend who lost cash by 50% that 50% less money
cash is going nowhere who won yeah the person who was there on
the ideal day but the person got on the worst day after 15 years was only behind
$10,000 as interest rates rise and the steroids wear off will it be the Chinese
economy overheating or will it be a collapse of confidence in the u.s.
dollar if we lose the confidence of our foreign lenders then there will be a
dramatic decline in the dollar a dramatic increase in interest rates
significant fuelling of inflation a very very deep recession and possibly
depression that would be felt around the world we must not allow that to happen
when the next bubble bursts you cannot use the same emergency measures you
can't lower interest rates that are already at rock bottom
you can't stimulate the economy with borrowed money if an excessive national
debt is the cause of the crisis the government's could save the banks but
who can save the government's ultimately there is gonna be a price all around the
world to be paid for this and the longer it continues the bigger that price is
gonna be you know this really is a moral question when we tell people that
there's going to be a bailout bubble and they see the world equity markets up 50
60 % they don't want to believe it it's another bubble they want to step right
up back to that table and throw their Dyson try to win their hand at the wheel
of fortune that Wall Street's spinning so people still don't want to believe
that the worst is yet to come
it really doesn't look good that's it will there be a crisis in 2018 some
people actually say there will it baffled me when I first heard of it and
it's really scary but if you think about the numbers the amount of money being
pumped out and the interest rates being so low I mean people are talking about
negative interest rates that's how serious the situation is
it really scares me and just this is way too late like this is like the ending of
the video but talk crazy in the comments I really want to hear you guys this
opinion on this if you have a lot of money in housing then try and consider
that and remember that you're biased because we all are biased in some sense
away but we still need to talk about this it's huge
we don't know what's gonna happen no one does but if there's a crisis in 2018 is
it an opportunity is it terrible is it our own fault I leave that question up
to you guys let me know in the comments down below I really hope you like this
little country I've put a lot of work into it I have a great one coming out
next week as well about artificial intelligence so we were at Stanford
right now our first class starts here I'm gonna try and talk to the teacher
afterwards and I just wanted to hear your

nightlight I really think you're gonna like so if you're new subscribe to the
channel I do put so much work into these you have no idea how long does it take

Exploring Muscogee Culture Through Shell Carving - Duration: 5:55.
[Music]
>>Chris Thompson: This is a medicine cup.
This has Grandmother Weaver on it.
She brought the fire across the water.
>>Rob Diaz de Villegas: This is a lightning whelk.
Its scientific name is Busycon contrarium.
While other snail shells spiral to the right, the lightning whelk spirals to the contrary
direction- to the left.
[Drilling]
>>Chris Thompson: When my mentor was talking to me about carving, I was like "How do
you never move the Dremel?"
And he goes, "Well, we always move to the left."
So, I'll always be turning the shell to the left and keeping the Dremel pretty much
straight in my hand.
This came off an old piece of Muscogee pottery, and it's basically our dance patterns.
Everything goes to the left.
We dance to the left.
I do carvings to the left.
The reason we do that type of thing is, we think it helps keep this middle world in balance.
If people see me doing this without this on, they'll…
[Laughter]
>>Rob Diaz de Villegas: Chris Thompson is a Muscogee shell carver.
>>Chris Thompson: Basically when you're doping this stuff, you're walking in two
worlds.
You have to be part of the world outside, but then I have to come back to my native
side.
>>Misty Penton: A lot of people don't have any understanding that there are still native
Americans who live in this area.
I think the perception is, all of them got removed to Oklahoma
And that perception is not a surprise given the, you know, 1853 law that natives weren't
allowed to be in Florida, period.
And then, given the Jim Crow laws.
>>Rob Diaz de Villegas: At the Fred George Greenway and Park Museum, Tallahassee residents
have the opportunity to get to know their native neighbors, and learn about their culture.
>>Misty Penton: The Greenway is 170 acres.
And Wildwood Preservation Society, it's open once a month for free lectures.
It's very interesting for a lot of people to see, and have an opportunity to meet, some
of their native neighbors that they actually have.
I'm 48 years old.
And my dad is in his 70s, his early 70s.
He is a ceremonial leader, and for about the last 20 years, he's been trying to gently
move us into- "We can't keep all these things secret anymore."
Because we're losing the young people.
We have this opportunity, we have this place here.
Things like Chris's shell carving.
We have shell carvers.
They used to not be available.
That was something you would not be able to talk to them about, because it's basically
a sacred chore, sacred task.
>>Chris Thompson: There's not too many people in the Southeast that are still shell carving.
We have probably about three artists that are doing it right now.
A lot of people, they don't use medicine cups like these anymore.
They actually use regular shells, or little tin cups.
And I started wanting to bring that back, also, where we can carry on the traditions
of our ancestors.
[Music]
>>Chris Thompson: What you see a lot in our shells, there'll be a representation of
the upper world, the middle world, and the lower world.
And this one right here tells the story of, after we die.
We play the ball game for the creator.
With the ball pole, and the fish at the top.
After we pass, we believe our spirit goes up that ball pole into the Milky Way.
It's just an example of our ancestors riding a canoe across the Milky Way and then spiraling
down.
But that's- I did that one just because I never saw it done so I wanted to do it.
(Laughs) It's not in any books, it's not in anything
like that, it's what I believe it would look like.
[Music]
>>Misty Penton: A lot of people think that natives are very connected to nature, and
certainly we are, the Muscogee people are.
And our ceremonial cycles are based on that.
In the springtime, we have the pollinators; we have the butterfly there.
And basically, they can do two things.
They can spread love, spread pollen.
And also, carry souls.
So again, everything in nature has its duality, if you will, in the Muscogee world.
>>Chris Thompson: So every time before I get ready to carve, um, we do a fast.
It's almost like part of me is gong into that shell.
I have to feel that carving that I'm doing.
There's a lot of times I won't even carve, like if I'm upset.
Because when I'm carving a piece for a person, I don't want to put that energy into the
shell.
There's been a month that I went without carving because I had to get myself straight
before I could even start working on pieces.
>>Rob Diaz de Villegas: For Misty and Chris, Muscogee medicine cups are no longer just
ceremonial tools.
They're a way to connect with people about their culture.
>>Misty Penton: It's one of those things where you can't imagine how someone else
thinks until you've had an opportunity to talk to them about these things.
And it's new for them.
For us, it's just the way we do.
(laughs)
>>Rob Diaz de Villegas: For WFSU, I'm Rob Diaz de Villegas.
MAP- Mississippians to more modern groups (would love on shell BG—need to get larger
shell for texture).
Search photo drive for snail shell pics- preferably from above.
It must be obvious they spiral to the right.
Multiple species.

What is WIzards - Duration: 2:33.
Hello guys
first I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Jimmy,
Jimmy Woods
What I am doing here?
Well, I am trying to
live my dream.
And yes, I know
that this might sound just like another cliche
but let me try to explain it.
Are you still listening?
Good.
This is about video games.
Nothing more,
nothing less.
So one day,
while browsing through Youtube
I asked myself
if the medium video games is represented
solely by consumer-hungry teens
who are having wet dreams while watching the umpteenth Call-of-Duty Trailer
or by pre-teens
who are garbaging Youtube
with yet another Minecraft Let's Play?
I no longer felt represented
in this society
and if I am not completely wrong,
I am not alone with this impression.
And that's how the idea of Wizards
and my dream were born.
The idea was to create a space for everyone
who no longer feels represented
in the video game landscape.
Yes, I am talking about you, the speed runners
lore junkies and highscore hunters
So if you are looking for funny Let's plays,
you have found the wrong channel.
However, if you, just like me,
have lost your heart to video games
and know exactly what I have just talked about
when you wish to be part of a community that
represents exactly this
then I gladly welcome you to this
channel and wish you lots of fun
with Wizards.
My name is Jimmy Woods.
Until next time.

Matt Lauer and Annette Roque Begin Divorce Process - Duration: 11:12.
Matt Lauer and Annette Roque Begin Divorce Process
For almost 20 years, Matt Lauer was married to Annette Roque.
Clearly, among Lauers many widely reported failings was his failure as a husband.
Its long been suspected that Annette Roque is planning to divorce Matt Lauer, but her approach to this has seemed calm and careful.
And quiet.
Now, reportedly, the divorce process has finally begun.
One of the biggest stories during these months of #MeToo was Matt Lauer being revealed and accused of being a serial harasser.
The shocking details of Matt Lauer giving sexual gifts and dropping his pants to demand sex acts from coworkers and underlings at NBC were enough.
But it didnt stop at creepy stories about a button on his desk to remotely lock his office door, or at his alleged fondness for using NBC trips as a hunting ground, looking for young, pretty, ambitious staffers to invite -- or lure -- to his hotel room.
And then, of course, Matt Lauer was accused of rape.
According to the allegations, he locked a woman in his office, bent her over, and only stopped his sexual assault after she lost consciousness.
Some divorces are started by mere cheating, not an international media scandal that leaves a once-beloved TV personality in disgrace.
Us Weekly reports that, after nearly two months of ... whatever Annette Roque has been up to ... she's finally divorcing Matt Lauer.
They've started the divorce process.
For a while, many feared that Annette Roque was refusing to divorce Matt Lauer.
Since then, however, shes kicked Matt Lauer out of their family home in the Hamptons.
Clearly, something has changed.
Do you know what the weirdest part of this is, though?.
It sounds like Matt Lauer is totally detached from reality.
At least, from what we hope reality is.
Per their source:.
He thinks he can start fresh.
In both his personal and professional life..
Were sure that he can date and even remarry.
Sadly, hes rich and famous, and some people dont mind dating an accused rapist.
But ... he really believes that he can salvage his career?
He thinks he'll be back on TV at some point.
Maybe he's right. After all, Johnny Depp is still somehow starring in movies even though we all know exactly what sort of man he is.
And Woody Allen is still making movies.
As we said, Matt Lauer and Annette Roque were married for nearly 20 years.
Divorce can be hell, and theres a decent chance that whats currently a quiet divorce will grow contentious over time.
The couple has three children together: Jack, 16, Romy, 14, and Thijs, 11.
Shortly after the Lauer story first broke, Annette Roque pretty much fled the country, and she brought Romy and Thijs with her.
Jack remained behind.
we dont know what to read into that other than that hes 16.
This divorce will impact the children no matter what, but theyre at least old enough that they (particularly Jack and Romy) can probably have some sort of say when it comes to custody.
Its difficult to tell how this divorce will go.
On the one hand, if we were for some reason advising Matt Lauer, wed suggest giving his wife everything she asks for, quietly and politely.
Surely he owes her that much, if not more.
On the other, the description that Us Weeklys source provides of Matt Lauer hardly meshes with the broken, ashamed description of him that we were so pleased to hear a while back.
if he really thinks that his life can somehow go on as before, that people can still see him as a public figure and not as a sex monster who abused the trust of coworkers but also of the public, then he might fight to enforce the couples prenup.
We can hope that he makes the choice of a decent human being.
But, given his alleged behavior in recent decades, we wont hold our breath.

The Missing Text Messages Between Two FBI Officials Have Been Located. - Duration: 5:39.
The Missing Text Messages Between Two FBI Officials Have Been Located
The tables have turned on the FBI as they have now found themselves on the other side
of the investigation as they have come under intense scrutiny after President Donald Trump
fired his Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Two top officials in the agency serving on Mueller's team became involved in a romantic
relationship and as such shared damning text messages with each other about the president
during an especially critical five-month time period.
With the investigation, they tried to hide what they said and thought they had successfully
done so by deleting the texts in question.
Unfortunately for them, just because they were erased, it doesn't mean they're gone
forever, and now the messages between the Trump-hating FBI officials, Peter Strzok and
Lisa Page.
Fox News broke the shocking update moments ago:
Text messages from a critical five-month period between Trump-bashing FBI officials Peter
Strzok and Lisa Page, who both served on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team, have been
located, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz has told Sen. Charles Grassley,
R-Iowa, and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.
This comes after the Department of Justice launched an investigation into Strzok and
page who had a total of 384 pages of text messages between the two lovers that contained
damning remarks and plans against the president.
According to the Washington Examiner:
The Justice Department has begun to retrieve some of the texts exchanged between FBI officials
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that were said to be unpreserved, according to a new report.
Earlier this month, the Justice Department produced 384 pages of text messages that were
sent between the two, but the FBI said that text messages sent between Dec. 14, 2016,
and May 17, 2017, were lost due to "misconfiguration issues."
Trump was breaking ground on immigration, then it all went to "shit"
But sources within the Department of Justice told Fox News that some of the texts exchanged
from that five-month period are starting to be recovered.
Strzok was a top FBI counterintelligence agent who was part of special counsel Robert Mueller's
Russia inquiry team prior to being demoted after it was revealed that he and Page exchanged
text messages that were critical of Trump.
He was then moved to a human resources position.
Page also was previously a member of the special counsel team.
Strzok was also a lead investigator in the investigation into former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton's unauthorized private email server.
The five-month period the Department of Justice previously had not been preserved includes
the presidential transition period up to when Mueller was chosen to be special counsel.
The Gateway Pundit explains why this it's so important to expose what these two lovers
said.
They very well could hold all the answers to the Mueller investigation:
Social media was set ablaze after these new Strzok-Page text messages were released to
the public.
What is even scarier to think about is the new explosive text messages are a separate
batch from the 6 months worth of 'missing' text messages.
The timeline of the 'missing' text messages is highly suspicious.
They begin on December 14, 2016 and go through May 17, 2017 which is the same day Robert
Mueller was appointed as Special Counsel.
Imagine what the 'missing' text messages say about the Trump transition period, Russia
dossier, "secret society" and moments leading up to Mueller's appointment.
The most shocking thing we have found out in the new batch of text messages is there
was a "secret society" of folks within the DOJ and FBI working against Trump.
The fact is that these messages were never really "missing" as has been said, it's
clear that this was a coverup.
USA Today reports:
While weighing the prospect of joining special counsel Robert Mueller's team last year,
a top FBI counter-intelligence official described the investigation into Russia's interference
in the 2016 election as a case destined for "the history books.
"
Peter Strzok, subsequently removed from Mueller's staff last summer for disparaging President
Trump in text messages, referred to the inquiry as "maybe the most important case of our
lives," according to a new release of his communications with FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
The latest batch of texts, released Tuesday by Senate Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, suggest Strzok expressed some skepticism
about the inquiry just two days after Mueller's appointment as special counsel.
"I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern (that) there's no big there
there," Strzok said in the May 19 message, before he joined Mueller's staff.
The release of two pages of text messages exchanged between the two officials comes
a day after Attorney General Jeff Sessions acknowledged that the FBI's information
system failed to preserve five months of text messages between the two officials, both of
whom had worked on Mueller's staff.
Strzok, who also helped run the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private
email server, was removed after the Justice Department's inspector general first discovered
texts in which Strzok and Page were harshly critical of Trump—in one message referring
to him as an "idiot."
Trump is doing as he promised and is draining the swamp!
Everyone will be held accountable in due time.

Home Depot Just Announced Trump Tax Cut Bonuses to Their Employees.
Democrats usually want a bigger government and higher taxes.
Republicans want smaller government and lower taxes.
For the most part, the American worker goes along with whatever their preferred political
candidate tells them would be best for them.
Businesses are a little different.
A lot of big corporations have made political stands over the past few years because they're
ultimately looking out for their bottom line.
You can't always trust that someone running for office is giving you the straight facts,
but you can depend on a business to do what's best for their financial health.
Some of the most liberal companies have fallen into begrudgingly praising the President's
tax cuts.
This is because it was structured in such a way that it's better for them to pass
a more substantial portion of earnings to their hard-working employees.
The number of companies that are giving out unexpected bonuses just keeps growing.
Home Depot is the most recent corporate giant to produce an unexpected gift for their employees.
This is something the workers will appreciate very much, and it's great to see a corporation
treating employees as an investment in their business.
The Gateway Pundit reported:
"Home Depot is the latest US corporation to announce Trump tax cut bonuses to their
employees.
241 COMPANIES HAVE NOW ANNOUNCED BONUSES TO EMPLOYEES THANKS TO THE TRUMP TAX CUTS
Over 2 million US employees will receive bonuses or raises this year thanks to the Trump tax
cuts.
Home Depot sent out this announcement on Thursday morning.
'Today, as a result of the recent tax reform bill and in appreciation for continued excellent
customer service, we are pleased to announce that all U.S. hourly associates will receive
a one-time bonus of up to $1,000 based on tenure.
This bonus will be paid during the first full week of February and is in addition to the
company's normal Success Sharing bonuses.
Please join me in thanking hourly associates across the company for their hard work and
dedication to taking care of our customers and making us the #1 home improvement retailer
in the world.'
The Disney Corporation announced Tuesday it is offering $1,000 bonus checks to 125,000
employees and contribute to an education program for employees."
It's hard to see significant gains for the middle class working American as anything
other than a win for the debated GOP tax plan.
Every person having a more profitable year because of the new tax plan will hopefully
remember what the left told them.
The stark comparison between that and the reality of more money in their pockets will
come to fruition.
According to Fox Business, Home Depot is just one of 241 companies who have now announced
similar tax cut bonuses to their employees.
AT&T even went so far as to give credit to the Trump Administration:
"Starbucks (SBUX) became the latest company to increase wages and enact other perks for
more than 150,000 U.S. employees as a direct result of recent tax reform, joining other
corporations in rewarding workers.
The Seattle-based coffee chain said on Wednesday it will give all of its U.S.-based hourly
and salaried workers an unspecified raise in April, in addition to a wage increase already
dispersed earlier in the Starbucks' fiscal year, which began last October.
Starbucks says it is investing roughly $120 million in the wage increases.
Starbucks is also awarding workers stock grants worth a total of more than $100 million to
those employed by the chain as of Jan. 1, 2018.
Retail employees will receive at least a $500 grant, while store managers will receive grants
of $2,000, the chain said.
The $1.5 trillion 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 telecom giant said in late December that more than 200,000 of its employees, including
union-represented and non-management workers, will be eligible for a $1,000 bonus.
The checks will be in the mail in time for the holidays if Trump finalizes the tax bill
with his signature before Christmas.
AT&T (T) also said it will invest $1 billion more than expected in the U.S. in 2018, once
the cuts are final.
'Congress, working closely with the President, took a monumental step to bring taxes paid
by U.S. businesses in line with the rest of the industrialized world,' AT&T Chairman
and CEO Randall Stephenson said in a statement.
'This tax reform will drive economic growth and create good-paying jobs."
Both political sides have an agenda they wish to push.
That will dictate how they frame a narrative when they bring it to voters.
If the currently affected business owners say that a political tax play is good for
the economy, then that's good enough to take it to the bank.
If you work for one of the companies giving out a nice bonus, then you'll be going to
the bank anyway!
