""Old habits run deep," says Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUGF, a financial services firm with offices in New York. "I would be surprised if much of the corporate tax cut money ends up in workers' pockets."
The reason? Companies, Rupkey says, are reluctant to increase their permanent wage costs. He also argues that "everyone has a boss," and that companies are "managing up" by paying out their increased after-tax profits to stockholders."

Trump’s tax cuts didn’t benefit American workers, just made rich companies richer

Since the tax cuts, companies spent 37 times as much on stock buybacks than they did on bonuses and increased wages for workers.Check out the freebies we’ll have tomorrow morning courtesy of our national team, Tax March!

If you’d like to make one or organize with friends to hold up posters that spell something out, that’s welcome, too. We’ll hold our banners & signs for 15-30min, as long as we’re able, so that we may return to the park by 11.

Congressman Al Green
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee

#REPEALTHETRUMPTAX:
THE PERFECT FISCAL STORM.
GOP Rep Mark Walker (R-N.C.), who chairs the conservative Republican Study Committee caucus, said the GOP looked “hypocritical” and “disingenuous.” And the latest damage to the nation’s fiscal health has been done with GOP in charge at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

And that was just in airfare.Good Monday morning, friends! We hope you had a great weekend!
We wanted to provide you with a little update on our event planning!:
Last Tuesday, a friend of Tax March Houston kindly dropped off our payment for the permit request at the Mayor’s Office, while we submitted the permit request from afar. We’ve officially requested Emancipation Park, and we’d be incredibly honored to get the ok to host there! We’ll let y’all know the moment we get our permit request approved.
We’ve got something we’d love you to weigh in on, though:
As you may know, last year we began and ended our march segment at the same points (City Hall, unavailable this year). We have that same opportunity again, starting and ending at historic Emancipation Park, OR, we can begin at Elizabeth Baldwin Park and march across 59 (where we’d love to hold up some huge banners for passersby to see!) to end in Emancipation Park for the keynote portion of the event.
As attendees, we’d love your input. Especially if you’re hoping to table at this event for a candidate or cause, we’d love to know your thoughts on this. (Also, if you plan to table, please contact us!)
All input is appreciated! And, of course, all financial help will help us get the jump on our planning! Keep an eye out for t-shirts THIS WEEK, too!
We’re here at the #TrumpTax Town Hall! Tune in live to follow along with our panelists!
The trump Whitehouse is the epitome of arrogant flouting of the rules. Without accountability and transparency in our elected officials, we have nothing.
Join us in the streets for Tax March 2, where we’ll stand by this original rallying cry of accountability and transparency, along with so much more! Help us get our permitting started by donating here:

Trump Thought the Rules Didn’t Apply—and Now He’s Paying the Price

The richest 1% took home 82% of the wealth generated around the globe last year.
Oxfam says Donald Trump and his "cabinet of billionaires" are partly to blame for the growing inequality.
"He also attributed the less-than-desired allocation to the Trump administration’s focus on tax reform and officials being “sensitive about adding to the federal debt” at the time."
Here's the translation:
Texans who lost their whole lives won't get the help they need because 45 & Congress needed a political victory so they could convince the wealthy criminal class to keep them in power.
GOP #taxreform is theft.

Bill Gates has paid over $10 billion in taxes—here’s why he says he should pay more
cnbc.com
"I need to pay higher taxes," says the billionaire.“Most observers predict a grim year for the GOP in 2018. But the economy is strong, and selective tax cuts are strategically redistributing money from blue-state professionals to red-state parents. The Republican national committee commands a huge financial advantage over its Democratic counterpart. (Things look more even at the level of the individual candidates.) A little extra help could make a big difference to Republican hopes—and to Trump’s political survival.”
We must stand strong against these threats.

America Is Under Attack and the President Doesn't Care

Trump’s gravest responsibility is to defend the United States from foreign attack—and he’s done nothing to fulfill it.Did you make it to our #GOPTaxScam Teach In and Town Hall this morning featuring House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Gene Green, and Tax March — Houston alum and always delightful Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee?*
No? Well...don’t you worry! One of our folks live-streamed the whole thing for you, so you can see what our esteemed Representatives had to say regarding the #TaxScam!
If you did make it, we’d like to extend an enormous thank you for spending a little bit of your time with us on one of the most precious of days: a Saturday! We’d also like to thank you for submitting some really great questions today, too.
Our appreciation for our hosts can’t be understated, either. Zeph, with American Federation of Teachers — Houston was a very welcoming host, and those who worked the event with him were just wonderful. Working with such dedicated individuals to provide an educational opportunity to the community is one of our favorite things!
We’d like to also extend our gratitude to ROADwomen for putting in so much work, along with others who helped promote the event, like Pantsuit Republic Houston & Texas Organizing Project. The Resistance works best when we all work together, and knowing we can count on such great groups makes like so much easier!
We’ll quit rambling now a let you enjoy the replay. Just remember:
