Seems like every day or so, a new company announces bonuses due to the tax cuts passed last month. Today, it's Walmart announcing increasing their starting wage to $11/hr and giving out $400 million in bonuses

Waste Management is giving $2000 bonuses to hourly employees. A whole bunch of companies announced $1000 bonuses.

Now, most of these actions are not permanent. The bonuses are likely just one time moves.

But these moves combined with increased paychecks coming soon definitely make Republican lawmakers look good for the moment. It's hard to argue that they fucked you over when cash is coming into your pockets
