Now the left is angry about ‘pro-Trump’ year-end bonuses
NY Post ^ | 12/25/17

Boy, are they annoyed: Democrats are pooh-poohing the avalanche of announcements by major corporations that they’re giving their workers bonuses and raising wages after the passage of tax reform.

It’s classic left-wing disdain for anything big business does, even when it’s rewarding its workers — and even when those reaping the benefits include the Democratic cheerleading squad at MSNBC.

Following President Trump’s signing of the act, which lowers the corporate-tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, leading companies began — in his words — “showering their workers with bonuses.”

AT&T announced $1,000 bonuses for its 200,00 workers. So did Sinclair, the nation’s largest TV broadcaster, for 9,000 employees, and Comcast, MSNBC’s parent company.

Arguing with the left is like trying to reason with a crazy bum hearing voices and shouting in the street.

I've got a new tagline!

I love how they are forced to cover Trump; they literally spew his name out as if it’s a curse word. Hee hee!

Of course. Because the Left has always hated the middle-class. The middle-class doesn't want to join them, and they're too proud to beg for handouts.

The Left's perfect world is to have them in charge and have a huge underclass of people begging them for scraps and looking at them in admiration. If you've watched the Hunger Games movies you'll know what I mean.

Trump doesn’t need to please anyone. He’s beholden to no one. Totally liberated.

That evil and malevolent ATT just gave 200 million dollars to their employees. That as all know is the rightful property of the government and not the lowly serfs of ATT!!!! /Sarcasm

It’s just part of the Democrat Strategy to protect the Blue State Millionaires and Billionaires who lost all but $10,000 of their SALT Deduction.

They want to blame POTUS Trump but not the Liberal Politicians in those same Blue States who have Taxed the hell out them and still do.

BTW - When CA passed its latest $.12 cent a Gallon Gas Tax and added $100 to the cost of Registering a Motor Vehicle, I didn’t hear one Democrat crying about Taxing the poor, the same people who will be hardest hit by those Taxes, not to mention the stealth “Carbon Taxes” CA has implemented.

The left is the largest organized crime ring on the planet. Delivering American taxpayers from their noose is naturally going to anger them. The laws are going to be enforced and freedom is going to be given to US citizen taxpayers.

Libs today tend to be VERY unhappy, now that their opponents have finally read and embraced the Saul Alinsky playbook.
