AT&T was quick to respond to news of U.S. tax reform, announcing it would give some employees bonuses once the law is official.

The telecom giant said in a press release on Wednesday that it would give more than 200,000 U.S. union members a special bonus of $1,000. The company also increased its capital expenditures budget by $1 billion in the U.S.

   ATT did win big. Lower corporate taxes and the end of net neutrality. The CEO posted a selfie yesterday and if you looked closely you could see the actual $$$ in his eyes.

If these big corporation don't invest in the US from the tax break, then it'll go away and no such tax break will happen again in the future? It would be foolish of them to just give the gains to wallstreet, but what do I know.
