Has anyone asked Pelosi - how much should the amount be before she no longer considers it 'crumbs'? 5K? 20K?

Oh that is brilliant, lol! I can only imagine the meme’s Tiny Tim wanting more crumbs etc, this will take on a life of it’s own in the digital age, she will be ridiculed like Alinsky never dreamed of.

I got no bonus from my employer, but I did get a $190 per month raise, and the natural gas company dropped its rates due to the tax law. MAGA.

I ***LOVE*** IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also loved Trumps comments during the SOTU where he said *And $4,000 is a lot of money* and looks right over at the dems.

Bonus taxes are grotesque.

Nice thinking outside the box. I hope every Democratic votes against it.

This only makes the Republicans and Trump look petty and silly. I’m against it.

(my imitation of the NeverTrumpers here who won’t support Trump’s military parade)

Maybe we should start a campaign: Crumbs to the crumbs

we could get it going by sending a box of crumb cake to Democrats, starting with Polousy.

Would a company have to prove or document somehow that the bonus was directly related to the tax cut and not due to some other existing bonus plan? Would this be in the form of a personal 1040 tax deduction when filing one’s 2018 taxes? Because I don’t see how an employer could reasonably remedy making it tax free to the employee if they’ve already paid it and withheld taxes on it. And as a payroll professional, that would be a nightmare.

And I assume this would this only apply to federal tax and not to payroll taxes (SS and Medicare)? It certainly wouldn’t effect state and local taxes unless a state legislature passed a similar bill.

I think this is more a publicity stunt and a well deserved jab at Polisi, rather than something that’s actually going to happen.

Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Ind., has dubbed his bill the “Creating Relief and Useful Middle-Class Benefits and Savings” — or “CRUMBS” Act.


Wicked clever!
