Democrat leaders, like Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders played the Marxist class warfare card hard in an effort to paint the GOP tax cut bill as a payoff to the rich while screwing over the middle class.
If youve watched any mainstream media, the quartet of Marxists has been outright lying about the effects of allowing Americans to keep more of their own money and away from the coffers of the D.C. swamp. Without belaboring you with their dire predictions, suffice it to say that there has been plenty of unhinged wailing and gnashing of teeth over the bill that has passed both houses of Congress and will now be sent to President Trump for signing.
Among the arguments the Left and the media (but I digress) makes continually is that evil corporations, who are getting the top tax rate cut from the highest in the industrialized world 35% a tax consumers indirectly pay every time they buy something to a more competitive 21%, will not use the savings to do anything productive, like invest in more jobs or pay employees more.
Well, the ink on the bill is not even dry yet and that false narrative has already come crashing down as AT&T announced on Wednesday that it will be paying 200,000 employees an extra $1,000 in Christmas bonus because of the tax reform bill.

Too bad they can’t send their retirees a little love out of that moolah.
Good call.
The democratic care as much about the middle and lower class as Lenin and the Bolsheviks cared about the peasants.
Yep. The ink on the bill hasn’t even dried and American workers
are starting to get a windfall.
Bravo to Donald J Trump.
That’s gonna leave a mark...
ATT retiree here.They could stick that bonus where the moon don’t shine as far as I’m concerned.
“Washington is a place that is so determined to deliver for the rich and the powerful and frankly leave everybody else behind.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren reacts to GOP tax bill.

Lizzy, Washington suburbs dominate the list of U.S. counties.
I guess that is where the $10+ trillion more in debt went that obama put on the shoulders of American taxpayers.
The money has been going to unproductive do-nothing liberals in DC. Thank you President Trump for trying to send it back to the working people.
I wonder how much noise Chuckie, Nancy and other RAT leaders will make about this, I’d guess noise like a church mouse.

I messed up in my prior post
The first link was supposed to be a different one
Democrats just pissed they didnt put in the same tax plan..they have to be against it since they didnt come up with it..they think if they scream enough people will hate the bill, til they get that sweet 1,000 bonus and 15 dollar an hour minimum wage..then they will say “Wait a minute, I thought this bill was bad, but here I have extra dough, thank you Donald Trump”
The only people hardest hit are wealthy folks with more than one house. Been a great tax deduction for the wealthy.
During the first two years of the Obama Administration, the Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate. Their signature achievement was the enactment of Obamacare that was modeled on European socialist programs and was passed along strict party lines. No republicans voted for it. Today Trump is a Republican President and both branches of Congress are controlled by Republicans. Their signature achievement, again along strict party lines has been the Tax reform bill heavily influenced by the capitalistic, free market teachings of people like Arthur Laffer and Milton Friedman. What will happen. Will the economy grow 4-6%, will despite lower tax rates Federal revenues increase and will if the Republicans control spending will the deficit shrink. more importantly will the country prosper? The production of real wealth correlates best with the establishment of social justice. The 2018 election will be truly interesting. Will the left wing MSM so muddle the situation and demean Trump and the Republicans that they suffer the same fate of the 2010 Democrats? Or will the people realize the country is being made great again if the Tax bill performs as advertised. We’ll see.

the GOP tax cut bill as a payoff to the rich while screwing over the middle class.
