What bullshit.

This is not "tax reform" on any level. This is a payday loan that YOU PEOPLE will need to pay back at 110% interest. Apple's effective tax rate is close to zero now and none of that is coming your way: you will not see an iMac Pro now starting at $1599 and $299 iPhones. Oh, and by the way: with the last two big tax cuts in the 80s and Bush, wages went NOWHERE. They did not rise. Hell, you all got a bigger tax cut in 2009 to offset the Great Recession, though most people, especially phony libertarian techie boyz don't believe they got one. Can't wait to for the parsing of paychecks in February to find that average $18.

I look forward to the furrowed brows of Americans in a vain attempt to understand things when they start filing their 2018 taxes next year. You people have been ripped off.

Good times.

This is a..not so good ad. From the narrator with the weird accent to the bizarre pace. Who is the possible audience for this? 

As others have surely (and *hopefully*) pointed out, the tax scam had ZERO to do with these bonuses, principally as none of this has taken effect yet. It is throughly illegitimate to claim that any company promising a bonus (or upping their minimum wage) is a result of this bill. But good to see that techie boyz and their blogs will cheerfully misrepresent something they should have more knowledge of, since mommy and daddy might have to cut down your allowances.

BTW, the tax cut you got under Obama in 2009 as part of the the stimulus package was far larger than this...thing that has been cobbled together. It also affected a wider number of people in the middle class. It will be a distinct pleasure to see people rushing to scrutinize their pay stubs so they can swear that this is all “working.” Just like all testimonials in all financial scams.

It seems inevitable at this stage that every developer is going to create a “pro” version that will also become a subscription.

So you’re really saying you are a communist! 

You have no idea what communism is. Not surprising at all, as Americans cannot even list the three branches of their own government without googling it.
