Oh, Now Shutdown Chuck Is Following Pelosi In Trashing Workers' Bonuses
2018-01-27
[Townhall] Well, when you’re backed into a corner, there really is nowhere to go. That’s where the Democrats are on this tax bill. Even after they shut down the government over illegal aliens, companies continued to signal their intention to dole out bonuses to their workers. In all, over 250 companies have given out bonuses, with over three million workers benefitting from the GOP tax plan. Bonuses have ranged from $1,000 to $3,000 depending on the company. The tax plan has become more popular. So, what to do now? Well, just marginalize $1,000+ bonuses as "crumbs."

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has done it, with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) adding that a $1,000 bonus won’t go that far. Yeah, remember when Democrats were appalled that the payroll tax cuts wouldn’t be extended in 2011, which would have added an additional $40 in workers paychecks? This is quite the 180-degree turn. And now shutdown Chuck is getting on the "crumbs" bandwagon (via Free Beacon):

Well, if you don't know how to fly, you can always dig.

#8  Well, knowing some of the watering holes and expensive dining spots most of these democrats take lunch and eat dinner, $1000 might cover the tab.

They are so out of touch they don't realize that what they spend on lunch at Sans Souci would buy groceries for a family of four for a month...and gas...and pay the utilities.

#5  There's a losing strategy. We probably don't have to worry about anyone telling them since no one can tell them anything. Let them keep digging.

#4  This is just the basic default position of the Democratic Party, that all funds should be given to the government. There's really no other way to read it.

#2  Of course its crumbs, to the Party of the Rich(c). The stupid party just won't play that card like the other side plays racism.
