"This $12 billion investment program is an outgrowth of the opportunity for tax savings created by the Tax and Jobs Act," said David Abney, UPS Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We will increase network investments and accelerate pension funding to strengthen the company for the long term, so that we maximize the benefit to our global customers, employees and shareowners."

"We applaud President Trump and Congress for their bold action to improve the U.S. economy,"Abney continued. "Our investments will create new jobs, secure existing jobs and expand opportunities for our people. We are committed to remaining a preferred employer by continuing to provide industry-leading compensation and excellent career opportunities."

"UPS also recently made a $5 billion tax-qualified contribution to the company's three UPS-sponsored U.S. pension plans. This represents about $13,000 per participant. The voluntary contribution raised the funding level to above 90-percent, securing retirement benefits on behalf of union-represented and union-free employees eligible for UPS-funded pensions."

Even if all these companies are doing this to avoid bad PR, I dig it.

I don't think they are though

Wow, this is awesome.


And it was voluntary. This is a first hand, 5 billion dollar example of Trump's great plan at work.

5 billion is nothing to scoff at. But I'm sure some avid Trump haters expect UPS to completely dissolve as a company and toss their money out into the streets. Oh well. Rational people will understand Trump's plan is working wonders for so many people.

Statistically, the poor tend to have more children and the tax credit doubled. If they're poor enough to not even pay any taxes at all---they'll be given a check for the children. They will literally be saving thousands of extra dollars they wouldn't have saved under the lip service from the dems.

If you're gonna make posts with no substance whatsoever, at least do it on your main. Smh.

If you're going to bring up gamefaqs accounts because your posts have no substance then just close your account. Smdh.

If Trump walked on water, liberals would bitch that he's too lazy to swim.

If Trump fed 5,000 people with a single loaf of bread, liberals would bitch it wasn't gluten free.

If Trump turned water into wine, liberals would bitch it was a red instead of the low alcohol white zinfandel they're used to.

We get it. You're really angry that Trump's bill had a positive effect in this scenario. Totally rational viewpoint.

We get it. You're angry that you can't even form a coherent, intelligent post so you talk about gamefaqs accounts and make stuff up. You don't need to be so angry.

Now maybe UPS will hire their drivers as full time employees instead of contractors which avoids giving them benefits.

Isn't it sad some people are actually upset families are saving money? Companies are contributing back to employers and investing in the community? It's actually kind of disturbing some people are perturbed by this.

Interesting how you just did the thing you accused me of. Well, it seems like you're really good at making posts with no real substance or content whatsoever. There's a word that describes you, but unfortunately new rules and all. So yeah, my bad for taking you halfway seriously. I'll make sure not to feed you anymore.

Hmm you're still very mad and your posts still lack any substance. You're so angry that you want to resort to name calling. That's very sad. I never once took you seriously because I could tell that you post without any sense or substance. I'll stop feeding you because hopefully you'll take my advice and do two things:

Ultimately, no. I liked the idea of Obamacare but did not like how it was implemented. I've always thought our country needs a complete overhaul to the healthcare system.

Oh okay good because you can thank Obamacare for more people getting hired as contractors / working less hours.

The internal struggle you are experiencing is called disbelief. When you begin to see that everything you once thought you knew was not actually accurate or complete. It's a fun process of discovery and growth, and you'll become a stronger person emotionally once you begin to entertain the idea that you're wrong and that there's a lot to learn.

He's realizing that his far-left narrative is crumbling beneath the weight of reality. When you lose your religion that way, it's quite jarring and difficult to accept. So you end up being bitter and abrasive for quite some time until reality settles in and you realize that it's okay to be wrong.
