the real winners from the corporate tax cut became clear — not workers and consumers, but shareholders.

“Right after Republicans in Congress passed their tax bill, lowering tax rates on corporations, companies delivered a very public thank-you: a series of bonus and investment announcements. It was a major PR opportunity for both corporate America and the GOP, meant to show that American businesses were sharing their billions of dollars in tax cut savings with their workers and the broader economy. But over the next few months,Companies have boosted dividends and stock buybacks. A stock buyback is when a company buys back its own shares from the broader marketplace.” [Vox, 3/22/18
