They like higher taxes so they should run on advocating a tax increase.

Worked wonders for a fellow named Walter Mondale.

Trumps tax plan is proving to be an unqualified success......over 250 US companies have given out bonuses to over three million American workers......ranging from $1,000 to $3,000. So, spoilsport Democrats marginalize $1,000+ bonuses, calling them “crumbs.”

The families with extra cash to spend on eating out, BBQ steak dinners, trips, new furniture, etc, arent gonna buy the disgruntled Dems baloney.

Consumer spending fuels ecomomic growth.

Democrats are boxed in between a rock and a hard place.

Don’t feel too sorry for them.

If Democrats were offering the same tax cuts and Republicans were bashing it the Dems would say “see this proves that Republicans are the party of the rich they think 1,000 in your pocket are small potatoes, they are SO out of touch” well lookie here, the Dem party is the party of the Rich..I know I would LOVE to see 1,000 in my pocket I think most people would find good uses to that money

No mention by Chuck that the 1000 bucks “Private Sector” bonus will be taxed and the feds will get a revenue increase without having to vote for\against a tax increase.
No mention by Chuck that the TEMPORARY “Government” 40 buck FICA tax reduction was predicated on a 50k a year salary, so more folks than not got less.
No mention by Chuck that the same FICA tax reduction cause the SS fund to lose a couple of years of solvency.
No mention by Chuck that it was Pelosi who said:
“Unemployment benefits injects demand into the economy,” Pelosi said,...that when families have money to spend it keeps the economy churning. “It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name.” Pelosi said the aid has the “double benefit” of helping those who lost their jobs and acting as a “job creator”.

Yeah, remember when Democrats were appalled that the payroll tax cuts wouldn’t be extended in 2011, which would have added an additional $40 to workers' paychecks?

Yup, and that "tax cut" came out of FICA, which meant that the insolvency of Social Security was accelerated, right as the baby boomers started retiring. Not smart.

Dear shutdownschumer:

When you’re already in a hole wayyy over your head, maybe you should stop digging???

If you retire NOW, ‘maybe’ President Trump will let you keep some of your pension

If it wasn’t for the MSM, there would be no democrat party.

Chuckie and Nancy have nothing, nothing to offer workers or anyone other than a big controlling intrusive government. They would never approve anything where workers may benefit from any type of bonus. They would rather tax the worker more for their vote-buying illegal-immigrant dependency programs.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has done it, with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) adding that a $1,000 bonus won’t go that far.

Maybe not in your out of touch with reality elitist world, but for the rest of us working class stiffs that you disparage, it's not insignificant.

Thanks for screwing up our lives with your tax burden in the first place.

Thanks for nothing.

$1000 allowed me to purchase a very nice AR-15 (in a private sale) and 1000 rounds of ammo. The ammo alone provides about 400,000 yards of precision shooting, which is pretty good mileage. GFY DWS.

Shutdown Schumer is terrified that people are getting tax cuts and are liking their paychecks.
