That's great news for an area that could really use it.

You do realize the majority of those tax receipts are the 2017 tax code, before the cuts went into effect?

A small portion would pertain to April (just the incremental between years), but withholding was changed in Feb along with all ES payments.  Hence, the vast majority would relate to current year policy.

Everything that happens in the world is dependent upon the political party of the sitting president.  There are no other factors.  

You have a come a long way.

Despite President Trump's tit-for-tat trade barbs, America’s CEOs are not wasting anytime in taking advantage of his tax reform plan. Over $300 billion was repatriated to the U.S. in the first quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) -- the most on record.

dont listen to the media....the HD world isnt crashing because they want to sell bikes in Europe.  A couple hundred jobs moved over there to build bikes in the island is crumbs compared to millions of jobs already created.  Since when does the left care about riding a Harley?  Arent those bikes for redneck Trump lovers?

That doesn't sound like a CEO.  The quote sounds made up.  The CEO of a publicly traded company wouldn't talk like that - typically.

I have posted too many times to count of the multitude of companies re-investing, re-opening, and hiring in the U.S., along with all the foreign entities relocating to the U.S. (many because of the tariffs).  These far, far outweigh the HD decision.  There will always be consequences to certain policy actions, but if we are going to send the message that we are serious about fair trade then we have to back it up, at least in the near-term, in order to effect overall positive change.  Change is never easy, particularly with BIG government.  But, we are lucky to have a disrupter in the WH right now; it was desperately needed.

the key word here is "some"....... nobody should care that a company moves a few jobs (could be as few as 100) overseas just to make their European market bikes cheaper.  

Also......they dont "have to" move anything.

Apparently it is fake. I apologize. Here is the quote. My point still stands

Trump will have a field day putting up another Justice nomination, since Kennedy is retiring. Would have thought it would be Ginsburg, but nah.
