Truth Revolt -- Hundreds of thousands of American workers are getting bonuses from their employers thanks to GOP tax reform and for some reason, MSNBC’s Joy Reid isn’t joyful at all. In fact, like everything else related to President Trump, she’s found a way to complain.
As TruthRevolt’s Amelia Hamilton reported, several companies already announced they will be handing out $1,000 to workers and investing millions, and even billions, more for more jobs thanks to the corporate tax rate getting a huge cut. In fact, the parent company Reid works for, Comcast/NBCUniversal, was one of the companies that announced the huge end of the year gifts for over 100,000 employees. Yet, she sounded quite bitter on Twitter that some of her friends were going to see a bigger paycheck just in time for Christmas:
A series of Tweets from Joy Reid@JoyAnnReid
Joy Reid @JoyAnnReid Corporate PR offices are hard at work, having demanded this exorbitant tax cut from Republicans. Watch for lots of Christmas bonuses and charitable donations (which of course they're doing before the bill guts the charitable deduction) and missives to reporters about the above. 12:40 AM - Dec 21, 2017
Replying to Joy Reid @JoyAnnReid Before you believe the bonuses and "pay hikes" are anything other than PR, do what @kurteichenwald is doing: look at the current average pay at these companies. Then check out the CEO and senior management's pay -- trust me their tax cut will DWARF whatever the little guys get.
Joy Reid @JoyAnnReid This is corporate America trying to convince you that their naked greed is charity; that their gluttony is kindness, and that they didn't demand this $1.5 trillion wealth transfer that you, sick kids and seniors are footing the bill for. 12:44 AM - Dec 21, 2017
Replying to @JoyAnnReid Journalists who help corporate PR offices push this line should at least report on the current salary averages and CEO pay, and investigate whether anything new really is happening ie "investments." Skepticism is your friend.
Joy Reid @JoyAnnReid These corporations are doing the equivalent of tossing paper towels at Hurricane Maria victims. Their tossing dollar bills at a selection of their workers for PR purposes and flinging a few pennies at charities while bathing in millions. 1:34 AM - Dec 21, 2017
And here we thought leftists loved redistributing wealth and seeing corporations become less greedy! Tis the season for being miserable.
Blog Author's Comments: It is amusing watching the leftists lose it. Reid obviously does not think it is a good idea for some companies to pay a bonus to their employees, she does not want Trump to receive any of the credit. There is no joy in Liberalville since mighty Hillary struck out. Reid would have been quite pleased if Obama received the credit. And what was her parent thinking when she named her 'Joy'? She would have thought the bonuses would have been a good thing if the people on welfare would have received a holiday bonus - for not working.
I think this woman could find something to complain about with puppies and kittens. She's going to be one of the people that receive a $1000 bonus from Comcast. So what is she whining about? I assume her complaining is because this is going to improve President Trump's poll numbers, and maybe convince a few more Americans we're on the right track with him at the helm. This is the last thing any liberal wants and they need to do whatever they can to destroy it. Her pay check is a better example of corporate charity and affirmative action.
Some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope.
