I saw a good opinion column yesterday or Wednesday that broke down the wage increases vs. stock buybacks.
Then it had a great discussion about how Republicans blatantly lie about the impact of their policies and Democrats rely on fact based arguments instead of saying things like “a new DACA deal would create a million jobs.”
Unfortunately, I read it linked off Facebook and can’t find it now. I went through the NYT and WaPo op-Ed’s and couldn’t find it.
Almost 100 American corporations have trumpeted such plans in the past month. American companies have announced more than $178 billion in planned buybacks — the largest amount unveiled in a single quarter, according to Birinyi Associates, a market research firm.
Such purchases reduce a company’s total number of outstanding shares, giving each remaining share a slightly bigger piece of the profit pie.
Cisco said this month that in response to the tax package, it would bring back to the United States $67 billion of overseas cash, using $25 billion to finance additional share repurchases. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, authorized up to $8.6 billion in stock purchases. PepsiCo announced a fresh $15 billion in planned buybacks. Chip gear maker Applied Materials disclosed plans for a $6 billion program to buy shares. Late last month, home improvement retailer Lowe’s unveiled plans for $5 billion in purchases.
“I’m expecting buybacks to get to a record for 2018,” said Howard Silverblatt, a senior index analyst with S.&P. Dow Jones Indices. “And if I’m disappointed, there’s a lot of people with me.”

Well the tax reform for the small businesses isn't going to be first felt until they file their 2018 taxes in mid to late 2019.
from article:
Seven in 10 small business owners said they would not hire a new employee as a result of the new tax law.
Six in 10 small business owners said they would not be giving their employees raises.
54 percent of small business owners say the tax law favors large corporations over small businesses.
55 percent of respondents do not believe the law puts small businesses on a level playing field with big businesses.
Importantly, given the partisan nature of the law, 41 percent identify as Republican, 31 percent as Democrat and 28 percent as independent or something else.
