Now the left is angry about ‘pro-Trump’ year-end bonuses
NY Post ^ | 12/25/17

Boy, are they annoyed: Democrats are pooh-poohing the avalanche of announcements by major corporations that they’re giving their workers bonuses and raising wages after the passage of tax reform.

It’s classic left-wing disdain for anything big business does, even when it’s rewarding its workers — and even when those reaping the benefits include the Democratic cheerleading squad at MSNBC.

Following President Trump’s signing of the act, which lowers the corporate-tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, leading companies began — in his words — “showering their workers with bonuses.”

AT&T announced $1,000 bonuses for its 200,00 workers. So did Sinclair, the nation’s largest TV broadcaster, for 9,000 employees, and Comcast, MSNBC’s parent company.

I think our current POTUS is the first one to realize that he will never, ever please the left...so why bother trying...

Must be very liberating.

There is still not a single liberal that did not cash their bonus check.

Don’t forget, $1000 is the MINIMUM.

I hope Trump keeps asking the NBC reporters who are overtly hostile to him whether they got their bonuses yet.
Sooner or later, they’ll have to admit they did. Partisan hacks, every one.

Nothing he does or is going to do will get media/Lib approval. In the thread below, they are snarking about him NOT having state diners:

Nothing prevents "the left" from personally giving their bonuses back, or away, or voluntarily paying more federal taxes. But they won't. And they should be publicly called out on their hypocrisy.

Here's one way to do so. When a leftist derides the bonuses, just state: "If you don't like your bonus, give it away. If you think your taxes are too low, pay more. If nothing's changed for you, thank Obama!"

I wish at some point, that a ball-gag was put in their filthy mouths and pulled so damn tight their eyeballs bulge out.
These commie POSs are as useless as teats on a boar hog.

When is the left ever not angry?

If you are a Liberal, you’re angry. It’s what you do.

GEICO.

I guess the MSM-Dems couldn’t find a single wage earner who would say something like “I’m taking my Trump bonus and signing the check over to the Democrat National Committee!”

If anyone had been willing to say this, they would have been on every news network with a fawning profile.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi claimed the AT&T bonus had already been negotiated as part of a new union contract and was an attempt to “pin a rose on this tax bill” — only to learn that it was an extra $1,000 bonus on top of the earlier one.

Ha-ha, what a doofus idiot Nancy Pelosi is! Can't get her facts straight in her insults and becomes a bigger idiot!

BINGO.

Arguing with the left is like trying to reason with a crazy bum hearing voices and shouting in the street.

Any liberals obsessing over political power should hate this bill, I don’t blame them a bit.

“Partisan hacks, every one.”

Not to mention low-life, totalitarian, adolescent scu&bags.

IMHO

Not only can you never please the left, they can’t think their way out of a wet paper bag. Remember they have been saying that the Republican only tax bill is what they will run on to retake control of The House and the Senate during the next election.

The left is a little frustrated. They tried to block the tax cuts bill by lying about it, claiming it was really tax increases except for cuts for the very rich. They lied loudly and constantly for the last month, hoping to make the bill fail.

Well, the bill passed, and now they have to figure out how to deal with the fact that people *might* realize that they're getting a tax cut and not an increase.

The left doesn't want to have to admit they lied, so now their challenge is to convince the public that these tax cuts are somehow fake or some sort of trick or in some way are really hurting the people getting them.

Problem is that liberals are dumb enough to believe anything the "leaders" on the left tell them.

This is just more proof that the purpose of left-wing policies is to protect their privileged, elite position sat all costs. Progressives hate people, especially working people.
