Microsoft Shareholder Payout Raised US Incomes, Worsened US Deficit

From Windows IT Pro:

When Microsoft issued an unprecedented $32.6 billion stock dividend payout to its shareholders in December, the company had a huge effect on the US economy, the US Department of Commerce said this week. According to the agency, the payout raised the average income of US citizens and will likely worsen the nation’s deficit. Overall, the US economy will ‘become more negative’ because of the payout because so many of the company’s shareholders live overseas.
