AT&T said it will give its U.S. employees a special bonus as a result of the Republican tax reform bill.
More than 200,000 employees of the telecom giant will be eligible for a $1,000 bonus, AT&T announced. The company will cut the bonus checks over the holidays if President Donald Trump signs the tax bill before Christmas, as expected.
AT&T said all union-represented and non-management employees, as well as front-line managers, will receive bonuses.
AT&T also announced that once tax cuts are made official, it will enact a plan to invest an additional $1 billion in the U.S. next year.

The $1.5 trillion tax package includes a substantial cut to the federal corporate rate, which will drop to 21% from 35%. The bill will also lower tax rates for individuals and small businesses.
Clinton Has PUBLIC MELTDOWN over GOP Tax Cuts
Doomed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton refuses to step out of the media spotlight, desperately posting a bizarre anti-GOP rant on social media for no apparent reason; writing that “there’s a lot to be frustrated by right now” and calling the GOP tax cuts a “giveaway for those who least need it.”
The former Secretary of State unloaded on President Trump and the Republican Party on twitter, calling out the GOP for allowing the Children’s Health Insurance Program to remain “in limbo” while “rushing” a tax cut to the rich.
The Children's Health Insurance Program, which provides health care for 9 million kids & has been reauthorized on a bipartisan basis every year for almost 2 decades, is hanging in limbo because Congress let it expire over 2 months ago.

It gets worse. During the campaign I warned that the Rs would come after social security, Medicare, & Medicaid & now they are. Imagine buying a Rolex & paying for it with money you saved to take care of your kids. That’s what Congress is doing w/ your tax dollars.

So in these surreal times, let’s rally together & take action. Call your House and Senate members at 202-224-3121 and tell them to take care of kids now and protect our seniors, the poor & vulnerable from future attacks. Tell them that it’s the very least they can do.

“I’m going to keep tweeting about this, and speaking out every chance I get, until it is fixed,” she concluded.
It’s unclear what prompted Hillary’s angry tirade; with the tax cut legislation being passed roughly one week ago and the CHIP bill working its way through congress for months.
Clinton’s comments came under fire from not only conservatives, but also liberals who simply urged the two-time failed candidate to “just go away.”
Hannity: Trump's Tax Plan Will Create Millions of Jobs
Speaking during his opening monologue in ‘Hannity’ Wednesday night, Sean praised President Trump’s tax plan to cut taxes across the board and unleash the American economy, saying the new policies would create millions of jobs for the forgotten men and women of America.
“The President is following through on what he promised you on the campaign trail,” said Sean. “If President Trump’s plan is approved all of these companies will have billions of dollars, if not more, of extra money. They’re not going to put it in their bank accounts. […] They’re going to invest capital, manufacturing centers, and factories that will create jobs for the millions of forgotten men and women in this country.”
“That’s what we need, that’s what we want, that’s what many of you voted for,” he added. “Everything that the President is proposing is designed to help grow the economy… In many ways, it’s a lot like what President did in the 1980s.”
“Democrats and the mainstream left, establishment media, they’re not telling you that under President Obama 13 million more Americans were on food stamps, 8 million more Americans were put in poverty, 95 million Americans were out of the labor force, the lowest labor participation rates since the 1970s,” said Hannity.
“My advice to the GOP is very simple: Stay the course, follow the Reagan-Kennedy model, and stick to the plan the President is proposing,” he added.
