Cool. The blue lines will catch up to that red line with all the money trickling into our 401(k)s.

I wonder what happened to make that red line start to shoot up

Pretty shocked Bernie is against a Republican plan.

Bernie’s math is off, but his supporters won’t care. Apple had a 24.5% effective tax rate last year and paid $15.7B in taxes. As such, they aren’t getting a $48B tax cut. Now, I am sure what he is referring to is the Apple cash stashed offshore that comes back at a reduced rate. The problem with that logic is that money would never come back under exisiting law. And that is the whole reason why this plan is good-we move to a territorial system.

So maybe Bernie prefers that the profits of American companies get invested in foreign locales at the expense of the U.S. economy. But I doubt he has the capacity or desire to understand how capitalism works or the huge flaws in exisiting law.

Now keep bashing our best companies that pay high wages.

So is the AMT in or out? That's all I care about. I don't think there's a single person who has actually read the bill.

I guess it depends on how you define regular guys. More than 1/2 the country doesn’t have a 401K plan. Guess where the majority that don’t rank on the income scale.

Finally, big business gets a break. They've been behind the 8 ball for far too long.

The average effective tax rate in the U.S. was already in the low 20’s (and below that in some sectors). As noted previously U.S. corporations have been doing great under the current system and unemployment is about as low as it can go. This was unnecessary and will hurt us bigly down the road.

I'm kinda surprised that tnis is true. It seems like most places offer something.

The corporate AMT is gone. The individual AMT remains, but in a much revamped format. The new single deduction is much high with the phaseout also starting much higher. It should not hit you in tax year 2018.

That figures, I read that the only tax Trump has ever generally paid is the Corporate AMT. Honestly, I don't even care about my own taxes. The joy that JORR is surely feeling right now with the repeal of the corporate AMT is gift enough for me. Of course we continue to pray for a complete repeal of the estate tax. What kind of nation would tax President Trump's beautiful, intelligent children upon the death of the Gift from G*D that is our King? Not one in which I would like to live.

I agree. It's about time we have a president who doesn't hate job creators.

Thank you FedEx. Yesterday's earnings call.

"So turning to tax reform. I know there are a lot of questions about possible changes for us as a result of that. So let me cover as much as I can. We welcome the possibility of lower corporate tax rate, a territorial tax system and 100% expensing of qualifying capital if these provisions are signed into law. Any capital acceleration for FedEx would primarily be for replacement of equipment and technology. If tax reform is enacted, we expect our uses of cash from tax savings would include: optimizing CapEx to capture the benefits of 100% expensing to further grow the business and create even more upward mobility for our team members; funding our pension plans beyond our current forecast; increasing the dividend as our board may approve; continuing our stock repurchase program at our current modest levels; and investing in M&A where it makes sense. As Raj will discuss, U.S. GDP could increase materially next year as a result of U.S. tax reform. If this occurs, we would likely increase capital expenditures and hiring to accommodate the additional volumes triggered from this incremental GDP growth.


If the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is enacted as set forth in the Joint Conference Report, we estimate our earnings per share could increase by $4.40 to $5.50 per diluted share for FY '18 before mark-to-market year-end pension accounting adjustments, primarily due to the revaluation of our net deferred tax liabilities. This range also includes an estimated $0.85 to $1 per diluted share due to a lower tax rate on fiscal 2018 earnings for the last 5 months of fiscal '18. As we have stated many times in the past, we would like to see a level playing field for corporate taxes. This tax reform bill would go a long way in making U.S.-based corporations more competitive globally."
