So AT&T giving a bonus to employees is all the deplorables need to see right now

My freaking cousins are all over this.. SEE??? corporations are trickling down!

So, how does this help those are going to lose their medical, their safety nets? When we lose social security - how will that help?

I swear those pinheads are so brainwashed I want to scream!

1K extra per employee.

That's a drop in the bucket.

I work for a competitor - it wouldn't matter to me that 1K since I live in NJ.

One of them has been on Medi-Cal and food stamps forever and she's all for this crap. Blames Obamacare for her insurance woes.. I told her once she should have worked harder and pulled herself up then. She didn't like that though she did ask to borrow money for rent once since LOL

Where did AT&T get a billion dollars to shower on their employees? Were they just sitting on it all this time? If so, why does AT&T need a further tax cut, and why haven't they been paying their people more all along?

These people are like Amos Hart in Chicago, who can't quite figure out why nobody's congratulating him that his wife Roxy is pregnant: "Yeah, she's been in jail for 14 months, but I'm going to be a daddy!"
