So, now that Chumpy has promised workers that they will be "showered with bonuses,"

[MoonRiver]

what happens to the POS's ratings when his demented base gets NOTHING?

1. The bonuses are window dressing. How about raises, promotions and new hires?

Crickets, i'm sure.

2. Those bonuses at AT&T, Wells Fargo, Comcast, and other places are nothing short of BRIBERY

Corrupt organizations bribing their workers.

3. After Federal, State, Local, and Payroll taxes taken out........

Those bonuses will not be worth much, depending on which tax bracket one falls into.

4. Taxes took out about 40% of my last bonus.

So this isn't really going to help the middle class very much. Bonuses are taxed different than regular income I think.

6. They are taxed the same as regular income

However the withholding is much steeper.

At the end of year when you file taxes, it's all settled out giving you (typically) a better refund, since bonus withholding is typically higher than your actual tax rate.

5. They won't care.

7. Has Waffle House weighed in on the bonuses yet? nt
