Pelosi: $1,000 Is ‘Crumbs’ For The Middle Class [VIDEO]

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi doubled down on her claim that a $1,000 bonus is just “crumbs” for middle-class Americans.

“There’s a little mouse trap who’s got a little piece of cheese on there and there’s a mouse about to take it and that’s called the middle class,” Pelosi said of workers getting bonuses as a result of the GOP tax cuts. “And around it are fat cats, they look a lot like elephants but anyway, around there. And that’s the thing. Get this little thing and we get this big bonanza. You get the crumb, we get the banquet.”

Are you kidding me? $1000 for us is like $100,000, or more, to the cow.

We are trying to save, but are mostly going from paycheck to paycheck. Taxes took what we have saved.

Turn this into a political ad and run it non-stop beginning in late AUG/early SEP through the election.

To someone who has probably stolen/swindled millions of taxpayer dollars, $1,000 is crumbs.

The funny thing is that the $1,000 bonus structure is the "progressive" bonus that lefties claim to love. The exec pulling $300K at Chase gets $1,000, but so does the $14/hour stock clerk at Home Depot.

It also is coming from the employer, so it has the feeling of being earned, and not simply a tool to manipulate buying habits. The next level of thinking will be, "How many $1,000 bonuses have I missed out on because of business taxes?"

Pelosi does not like the taxpayers getting some of their money back....she wanted to use it to pay off her voters with more give-aways.

Stupid, Botox-addled old hag conveniently omits the fact these bonuses are given out by the thousands.

Yes, dopey Nancy doesn’t understand why companies can’t give their thousands of employees $50,000.00 each instead.

How much of the ‘cheese’ did the family get to keep by pre-paying their property taxes so they could claim it as a deduction on their income taxes?

Going to bet a little more than $1,000.

Pot calling the old kettle, me thinks. Of course, she’s for the little people and WOULD NEVER use her influence to improve the family income at the taxpayer’s expense. Just remember, people, we get to pay her for the rest of her living days if she’s in office or not. That’s one heck of a chunk of cheese.

When you have a net worth of over $100,000,000 then $1000 may look like crumbs.

Nancy “let them eat cake” Pelosi.
