Zoe Henry, reporter for INC. Magazine, discusses how the tax overhaul is affecting both corporations and middle-income Americans.
In the new year, major corporations such as AT&T and Wal-Mart have handed out employee bonuses. Now that the corporate tax rate is lower for some companies, Henry speculates about how much these bonuses are really affecting the companies' bottom lines.
Overall, Henry notes that these companies are making great financial decisions, but ordinary Americans may not see a major payoff.
Chair Jerome Powell says the Federal Reserve only expects to cut rates once in 2024. But at least, as one economist says, ‘rate hikes are off the table.’
With the Fed likely set to leave rates unchanged, lower and middle income Americans will continue dealing with higher credit card interest and expenses.
