Presiden Indonesia Jokowi, sore tadi mengatakan,dirinya telah memerintahkan kepada dirjen Bea Cukai, untuk menindak dan mengusut para importir ilegal.Dan presiden juga minta para pelaku improtir ilegal dapat dikenakan sangsi hukum,disana juga presiden meminta kepada kapolri dan jaksa agung buat mengambil tindakan bagi para pelanggar hukum yang menyangkut masalah importir ilegal. sebagai berikut presiden mengatakan malam ini melalui surat resminya.Disana juga Presiden telah membatasi segala importir ilegal juga presiden juga menilai para mafia importir ilegal selain tidak membayar bea masuk dan pajak sekaligus menyebabkan industri nasional sulit berkembang demikian presiden Indonesia Jokowi menyampaikan kepada wartawan online. Dan hal ini juga diperkuat didalam FB Presiden disana dikatakan.
Saya memerintahkan Dirjen Bea Cukai untuk mengusut impor ilegal. Perintah itu sudah dijalankan dengan baik. Gerak-gerik pihak-pihak yang terlibat importir ilegal sudah mulai dibatasi. Tinggal penegakan hukum yang harus disegerakan. Saya telah memerintahkan Kapolri dan Jaksa agung untuk mendukung langkah Dirjen Bea Cukai dalam membasmi mafia impor ilegal.
Impor ilegal selain tidak membayar bea masuk dan pajak, juga menyebabkan industri nasional sulit berkompetisi. Ditempat yang lain Pengamat International Andriluntungan ketika dimintai komentarnya malam ini, mengatakan apa yang dikatakan presiden itu, atau instruksi presiden anggablah sebuah printah atau semacam printah, dan seandainya itu segera laksanakan oleh dirjen bea dan cukai, setidaknya akan lebih baik, ditambah lagi disana seandainya jaksa dengan Polri ikut juga bergerak buat mengambil tindakan hukum bagi mereke yang telah menjadi importir ilegal akan lebih baik.Namun persoalannya bagi para mapia importir ilegal ini biasanya mereka memiliki jurus-jurus hebat, juga terkadang mampuh melemahkan para bea,cukai,juga para penegak hukum,artinya jika jurus-jurus mapia itu telah dikeluarkan tidak sedikit yang menjadi balelo, terbukti mereka bisa meloloskan barangnya.Cetusnya, Andri juga menilai bahwa jurus mapia sangant hebat, bahkan terkadang tidak bisa terditeksi, oleh sebab mereka bermain dengan dunia perkeliruan berjalan sudah terlalu lama, bahkan mereka dapat menguasai kelemahan aparat berwenang.sementara aparat berwenang belum tetntu bisa mengetahui kelemahan para mapia.? "Orang mengatakan bahwa uang sekarang berkuasa.?". artinya apapun perkara jika didepanya sudah ada uang terkadang manusia mudah tergoyahkan, terbukti, tidak sedikit para pejabat mereka tumbang oleh sebab terkena suap,atau menerima uang pelicin.Pertanyaannya, mampukah mereka bisa menolak uang pelicin.? mampukah mereka bisa menolak, segala rayuan yang disajikan, apa bertemu di hotel dengan gadis cantik,? dan mampukah mereka sebagai pejabat tidak bergaul dengan para importir ilegal.?. Pertanyaan ini mungkin sering dianggap terlalu lucu,tetapi kenyataannya, tidak sedikit para pejabat yang tumbang uang pelicin, tidak sedikit juga pejabat yang tumbang diberikan wanita cantik.Ubgkapnya. "Saya hanya bisa menilai sekarang bahwa segala keputusan atau-pun undang-undang dibuat, selama segala aparatnya masih nakal dan tidak mampuh buat menahan godaan dari pihak ketiga jangan harap segalanya akan berjalan sesuai dengan tujuan. "Persoalan sekarang tinggal kita lihat saja, sejauh apa, kemapuan para aparat berwenang buat bisa menjalankan printah presiden itu.? dan seperti apa juga mereka mengambil sikap atas printah yang diberikan oleh presiden itu,? sejauh ini mungkin saya belum bisa mengatakan apakah mereka nantinya kan berhasil atau gagal.? Dan saya juga belum berani mengatakan bahwa, nantinya Printah Presiden Jokowi hanya berjalan ditempat, oleh sebab printahnya juga masih baru, namun ada kekawatiran buat saya mereka para pelaksana dilapangan bisa tergiur seperti yang saya katakan diatas,Cetus Andri.
The latest Employment Situation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows weekly employee earnings have grown $75 since tax reform passed, well short of the $4,000 to $9,000 annual increases projected by President Trump
Donald John TrumpRobert De Niro, Ben Stiller play Mueller and Cohen in 'SNL' parody of 'Meet the Parents' Trump order targets wide swath of public assistance programs Comey says Trump reacted to news of Russian meddling by asking if it changed election results MORE and House Speaker Paul Ryan
Paul Davis RyanTrump order targets wide swath of public assistance programs Sunday shows preview: White House officials talk Syria strike Wage growth well short of what was promised from tax reform MORE (R-Wis.).
During the three months following passage of the tax bill, the average American saw a $6.21 increase in average weekly earnings. Assuming 12 weeks of work during the three months following passage of the corporate tax cuts, this equates to a $75 increase.
Assuming a full 52 weeks of work, the $6.21 increase in weekly earnings would result in a $323 annual increase, nowhere near the minimum $4,000 promised and $9,000 potential annual increases projected by President Trump and Speaker Ryan if significant cuts were made to corporate tax rates.
Unless something drastically changes, it seems that Americans are going to have to settle for much less than the $4,000 to $9,000 projected wage increases. An extra $322 a year isn’t going to do much to pay down the $1 trillion in additional debt they are projected to take on as a result of the tax cuts.
Yet, a key part of the argument for the recently passed corporate tax cuts and more than a trillion dollars in debt was the substantial wage hike promised by the president’s Council of Economic Advisers (CEA).
From a document titled, “Corporate Tax Reform and Wages: Theory and Evidence,” on the White House’s website:
“Reducing the statutory federal corporate tax rate from 35 to 20 percent would, the analysis below suggests, increase average household income in the United States by, very conservatively, $4,000 annually.”
The document goes on to say:
“When we use the more optimistic estimates from the literature, wage boosts are over $9,000 for the average U.S. household.”
No less than Speaker Ryan’s website trumpeted the Council of Economic Advisers report claiming that on average, the proposed corporate tax cuts would result in at least a $4,000 annual increase in wages.
Now, some supporters of the tax bill may say this analysis is unfair because it is too early for the effects of the tax bill to show up in wages. By that logic, they also shouldn’t take credit for reported employment growth increases.
Still others may point to the $1,000 bonuses announced by some companies shortly after passage of the tax bill. First, that is significantly less than the promised $4,000 to $9,000. Second, these are not wage increases; these are one-time bonuses.
Will companies pay them again, and if so when? Third, the $1,000 represents a fraction of the estimated potential company tax savings.
Using 2016 net income, 2016 effective tax rates, the new 21-percent corporate tax rate and company bonuses, we estimated company bonuses as a percentage of a number of company’s potential tax savings. The results: In many cases, the bonuses represent a mere pittance of the possible tax savings.
Navient announced that it would be giving $1,000 bonuses to 98 percent of its 6,7000 employees, paying out nearly $7 million in bonuses. While that may seem generous, it pales in comparison to Navient’s potential tax savings.
Using Navient’s 2016 net income, its 2016 effective tax rate, estimated annual tax savings of nearly $200 million and its announced bonuses, we calculated that the announced bonuses represent less than 4 percent of Navient’s potential tax savings.
Turning to the airline industry, JetBlue’s employees might be feeling blue if they realized that their $1,000 bonuses are estimated to be less than 10 percent of JetBlue’s potential tax savings, while American Airlines’ bonuses are estimated to represent less than 15 percent of its estimated potential annual tax savings
Not to be outdone, Comcast’s bonuses represent less than 8 percent of its estimated potential annual tax savings, while Walmart appears downright generous, giving an estimated $0.16 of every dollar of its estimated potential annual tax savings to employees in the form of bonuses.

What happened to the minimum $4,000 promised? I guess like many promises by politicians, they were empty. Instead, they seem to have gone to share buybacks. For the period December 2017 through February 2018, share buybacks more than doubled to $200 million.
Is a $323 wage increase and a one-time bonus of $1,000 that represents a fraction of estimated potential company tax savings worth the more than $1 trillion in additional debt placed on Americans? Is this the best Congress could do? No.
Instead, Congress could have simply made each company’s tax cut contingent on each company increasing wages. The problem is that some companies receiving tax cuts didn’t raise wages.
If Congress had made each company’s tax cut contingent on each company’s wage increases, the American people would have gotten more bang for their tax cut bucks. Additionally, this would have created a real incentive for companies to raise wages: Increase wages, get a tax cut; don’t and you won’t.
If the justification for saddling the American people with at least $1 trillion in additional debt was greater wage growth, tax cuts should have been tied to each company’s wage growth; that’s just logical. That’s getting a better deal for the American people, and that’s getting a better return on investment.
