Democrats have let us know they are not impressed with the good news to come out of the GOP tax reform plan, fully engaged in downplaying at its finest.
Major companies have rewarded employees bonuses and salary increases in the aftermath of the Republican tax plan, yet Democratic leaders like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi dismissed the benefits as mere " crumbs " compared to the supposed joy ride corporate America is getting.
Other Democrats decided not to cheer the news that Wal-Mart was raising pay and giving out bonuses , instead calling it a "PR stunt."
The Washington Post is at least not letting McCaskill get away with her own farfetched interpretation of the bill.
“It’s a debt-inducing, make-rich-people-richer tax bill that in the long run is not going to be helpful to the vast majority of people in my state that are sitting around the kitchen table trying to figure out how [to] come out even at the end of the month," the senator said of tax reform.
The WaPo zoomed in on how McCaskill used the phrase "in the long run" in her criticism. That's because the current tax cuts are set to expire.
Yet, "she’s telling only half the story." In the short term, many of her own constituents will benefit.
A study from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy shows that why a third of taxpayers will experience tax increases in 2027, the vast majority will get some kind of tax cut in Missouri in 2019 .
With the senator's comments set in context with those statistics, McCaskill earned Two Pinocchios.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has introduced a bill to make the tax cuts permanent. He invited the Democrats to join him.
Bad Trump ,robbing Government by letting people keep their money ,LOL
Is there a worse form of human than a leftist democrat? They truly are sick pieces of *hit.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
Did this woman squeal the same way when Obama raised taxes on that family she refers to with his Obamacare crap?
Probable one of Bob Woodward’s or David Ignatius’d CIA handlers took them aside and explained research shows they would have more credibility on their ‘hit pieces on Trump’ if every now and then they attack a democrat...
Was not aware Senator Cruz had introduced a bill too make tax cuts permanent. Sounds good to me! Loved his challenge to Bernie Sanders on link provided.
That’s a good possibility being it’s McCaskill they’re coming down on.
According to some MO freepers she doesn’t have much chance of reelection.

Thanks jazusamo. Like Hitlery, she wants to take things away from us for our own good.
