Well, when you’re backed into a corner, there really is nowhere to go. That’s where the Democrats are on this tax bill. Even after they shut down the government over illegal aliens, companies continued to signal their intention to dole out bonuses to their workers. In all, over 250 companies have given out bonuses, with over three million workers benefitting from the GOP tax plan. Bonuses have ranged from $1,000 to $3,000 depending on the company. The tax plan has become more popular. So, what to do now? Well, just marginalize $1,000+ bonuses as “crumbs.”
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. Yeah, remember when Democrats were appalled that the payroll tax cuts wouldn’t be extended in 2011, which would have added an additional $40 in workers paychecks? This is quite the 180-degree turn. And now shutdown Chuck is getting on the “crumbs” bandwagon.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) on Thursday called the bonuses and wage increases that companies have given workers due to the Republican tax reform law "crumbs," echoing the rhetoric of his counterpart in the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.).Yeah, when working and middle class families get extra money in their paychecks, they couldn’t care less about the wealthy. In their world, they’re seeing a benefit. Democrats are trying to ingrain envy into the national consciousness. It’s never worked. In a nation that values opportunity and hard work, the wealthy are an inspiration. That’s why, as George Will noted, we don’t have a truly socialist redistributionist party in America. Thought that could be changing with how left wing Democrats have become. This is getting to be a stale narrative and talking points as well. Democrats won’t be able to spin this if companies keep rewarding workers with bonuses due to the Trump’s tax bill. Then, Democrats will have to explain why they voted against the middle class, the American worker, and economic growth. Have fun explain that.
Schumer said on the Senate floor that Americans will be outraged when they learn big businesses are enriching themselves under the new tax overhaul while workers are effectively getting no benefits.
"When the American people learn that some of them are not getting anything, some of them are getting raises, and the rest are getting crumbs, and big corporations and wealthy individuals are getting nice, fat pieces of pie, they're going to be outraged," Schumer said. "They are already."

Blog Author's Comments: The Democrats cannot do any better than what has transpired, since Donald Trump obtained the office of President, and been the head of the Republican Party for approximately one year. What did the Democrats and Barack Hussein Obama accomplish in eight years? They moved our country backward instead of forward. Naturally, for those like Pelosi and Schumer, a thousand or two is "crumbs ". They spend their days attempting to fritter away Billions in taxpayer dollars. I can't believe the Democrats think this lecturing and recitation is going to be a selling point for them going into the midterm elections.
But, this is the plan they will continue, because they have nothing else to present, aside from their negativity towards Trump and all members of the Republican Party. Let Pelosi and Schumer talk, the deeper they dig the hole, the better the coming elections will go for those of us who have to live in the real world. Other than trashing the GOP, what else do the Democrats have to offer? No accomplishments. No solutions. No ideas. Just hate. They are coming into the mid-term elections with nothing to show the citizens of the United States, only illegal immigrants and they want many more of them.
