“When it rains, it trickles.
Despite widespread coverage of corporations gifting their employees with cash, just 2% of Americans say they've seen any kind of benefit thanks to the Republican tax law signed by President Trump in December.
The results of a new Reuters/Ipsos online poll of 5,254 adults show that hardly any respondents have gotten a raise or bonus.
Additionally, about 58% of participants said they believe that corporations or the wealthy will benefit the most from the legislation.
Airlines including JetBlue, Southwest and American previously announced they would be giving a $1,000 bonus to employees, with the latter two companies specifically citing the tax law as their motivation.
A statement from Southwest said the company's decision was meant to "celebrate the recent passage of the tax reform legislation," while American said it was "in light of this new tax structure and in recognition of our outstanding team members."
Likewise, over 200,000 AT&T employees and about 145,000 Bank of America workers who earn up to $150,000 a year were promised a bonus of $1,000.”
