Tax Day is Tuesday. While millions of Americans scramble to fill out their tax returns, we should also find time to celebrate the new tax law.
Because of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, more than 500 U.S. employers have publicly announced wage increases, bonuses and other employee benefits. And over 4 million working Americans have reaped these benefits.
My employees are on that list. As the founder and president of Guy Chemical in Pennsylvania, I’m putting my tax savings to work by distributing bonuses and investing in expansion opportunities.
Instead of bankrolling Uncle Sam, job creators are now growing their businesses and rewarding their employees. That’s plenty to celebrate this Tax Day. And next year, there will be even more to celebrate once Americans see these savings in their entirety under the new tax code.
