I'm sure we'll see reports of a few large companies giving bonuses or raises, but for the most part the majority of corporations will end up saving most of the increased profits and pay dividends to stockholders, people who generally make enough to afford housing, food, insurance, children and have enough to invest. While that's good for the middle & upper class, it doesn't fix key issues in the long run. Neglecting the lower class will impact everyone when their health expenses go unpayed and crime rate per population never declines.
In a best case scenario, the largest employers in the country will start offering benefits to their workers and hire on more full time, less part time. That could help curb the healthcare issue and encourage those making very little to invest just a little bit, so they can somewhat support themselves financially in the future so our tax dollars don't go to avoidable issues. It's easy to focus on now, but what will our country look like in 40 years? Hopefully we find ways to support the poor and lower class so they aren't an even bigger burden in the future. I'm not sold on tax cuts being the solution to that problem, I certainly don't trust corporations any more than I trust the government to fix these problems.
