44. Sorry. Thought you were referring to a specific tax cut directed at Amazon.

Look at GM and how Trump is threatening to revoke their tax cut specifically, so you never know these days. There are specific tax cuts directed at specific companies such as the Indiana carrier company or industries, so did not know whether you referring to a specific one or the 2017 tax bill as a whole.

Trump threatens to strip GM of a tax credit it's about to lose anyway

President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to strip General Motors of a tax credit that makes its electric vehicles more affordable for car buyers, escalating a dispute with the automaker over its plan to halt production at several American plants.

There's just one problem with the threat: GM is on the verge of losing the tax credit anyhow.

The IRS offers car buyers a tax credit of $2,500 to $7,500 when they purchase an electric vehicle for use in the United States. However, after an automaker sells 200,000 electric vehicles, that manufacturer gets phased out of the program over the course of about a year.
