The horror, folks! The apocalyptic effects of the GOP tax reform have struck again. This time MetLife announced that they’re going to raise wages and offer new benefits. So, they’re joining one of at least 250 companies that have offered increased benefits thanks to Trump’s tax reform that was signed into law on December 22. Over three million workers have benefitted from it, much to the chagrin of the liberal media who were hoping Trump would fail, and that working and middle class families would descend into economic misery to better Democrats’ chances in the upcoming elections (via Washington...

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 to over three million workers. Bonuses have ranged from $1,000 to $3,000 depending on the company. The tax plan has become more popular as well. So, what do Democrats do now? Well, just marginalize $1,000+ bonuses as “crumbs.”Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has done it, with Rep....

Are you kidding me, California? Actually, no—the politics in this left wing cesspool are so insufferable that this really shouldn’t shock us. After President Donald J. Trump passed a historic tax reform package before Christmas, over 150 companies have doled out bonuses of $1,000 or more to workers, increased employee investment, and plan to boost philanthropic giving. Over two million workers have received bonuses. This is the middle class tax cut that Democrats voted against in December. This is the job creating and investing environment that they hate. They voted against our country’s economic growth, our workers, and the...

Well, Democratic spin surely has the middle class skeptical of the Republican tax bill. On Friday, President Trump signed the most extensive tax reform in 30 years. It was framed as a giveaway to the wealthy and something akin to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse by congressional Democrats. Not a single Democrat voted for the bill. In reality, itÂ’s a middle class tax cut. Eighty percent of Americans for at least the next eight years will be paying less. The analysis says it. And now CBS News spoke to three families from Providence, Rhode Island, Fresno, California, and Cary,...

Tax reform is done. It’s about to be law. It’s the largest revamp in three decades, but not a single Democrat voted for it. Not even Democrats from states that Trump won by wide margins. It’s a big gamble for both sides. If it doesn’t produce the economic results the GOP has been pushing, they’re sunk. If it does maintain economic growth, and any patriotic American should hope so (we’re booming at four percent right now), then Democrats have to explain why they voted against the middle class, working families, more money in Americans’ pockets, and just overall relief. Why...
