Yesterday I was in a used car parts shop and talking to the

guy behind the counter. He looked to be the owner, so I asked how's business. He said great thanks to trumps tax laws. I said you must be doing great, he said Great. So with about six employs standing around, I ask this question. I'll bet you gave all of your employs a nice raise and hired some new ones, or did you pay off your boat? Got that look, like I hit the ball out of the park. He got big eyed and all of his workers turned and looked at him.

the results of the employee's tax returns due this month. With that in hand, they should have some beers with the boss....

If he shows them his return, that would be even more fun at the bar.......

Well done! I'm sure you put a bee in those worker's bonnets. They aren't going to forget about that. I hope the cheap bastard was shamed into giving raises to his employees.

company got and has anyone seen any kind of increase? NO ...actually the screws were put in as far as sales goals go and all the offices are moving and 'downsizing' we need to be lean and mean -- all after this massive tax cut...so yeah it's part of the GREAT BIG CON by the RED DOTARD DON.
