It will be interesting to see how many bonuses are handed out next year with the same tax brackets in place but after the issue has died down a bit.  I am betting that even though the tax brackets will not change next year not nearly as many companies will be making these PR moves.

Oh yes, every company that has had record profits for years, I guess what why Retail companies are filing bankruptcy at a record pace in 2017 right?? Someone Tell Toys'R'Us, Circuit City and the other 660 retailers they weren't allowed to do that in 2017, they shouldn't have been passing out all of those bonuses and they might have been able to survive!! By the way, 2018 has a projected increase of 30%, chew on that for a while,

The healthcare industry is next.  Wasn't it just a few years ago that Banks were filing? What about Automakers?? Dang those companies just passing out the money and never saving for downtimes!!
