Democrats plan MLK holiday ‘teach-ins’ to rally against Trump tax cuts

Congressional Democrats will hold a series of “teach-ins” to celebrate the Martin Luther King holiday, hoping to rally Americans against the GOP’s tax bill as they seek to regain their legislative footing.

After ending 2017 on defense, watching from the sidelines as the GOP approved a landmark tax code overhaul and repealed a major portion of Obamacare, Democrats are vowing to try to push their agenda in 2018.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who is slated to meet with top White House officials Wednesday, said she’ll pursue a series of “long-overdue, bipartisan priorities” for more spending, including the opioid epidemic, a bailout for some private pensions, additional disaster relief and government-run health programs.

Mrs. Pelosi also said Democrats still want to pass the Dream Act to grant citizenship rights to illegal immigrant “Dreamers.” That effort stalled late last year, causing Democrats to miss their self-imposed December deadline for action.

"The Republican-controlled House, Senate and White House squandered 2017 by stacking the deck for privileged, the powerful and special interests and against America’s middle class families,” Mrs. Pelosi said in a letter to her congressional colleagues.

Obama extended the Bush tax cuts and had Bill Clinton stand in for him at a press conference to explain why they should be extended.

Rallying for tax increases? Madness, but typical.

More and more government, which means more and more control.

These lefties are truly evil.

They need to teach the real MLK starting with his real name. Michael King. Then teach his connection to to MAOIST china documented by the FBI including the phone calls of his communist lawyer to Chinese agents. And then there is Michael as a serial adulterer ( on tape) and documented by Ralph Abernathy, his right hand man. Ralph was director of the Southern Christian leadership conference and was morally appalled and publicly exposed Michael for his abuse of women sexually and his infidelity to Coretta Scott. Yes — children need to know who this man really was.

The Leftards have always made their “Teach-Ins” an extremely one-sided affair. They present only leftist propaganda, with no possibility of countering information or analysis.

I can hear it now, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” so we must fight for illegal immigrants based on the color of their skin.

I left off that Michael king lied and plagiarized his entire “phd” dissertation at Boston university. He was totally exposed as a fraud but they deferred to his race as the reason for not revoking his degree. Total fraud and plagerist. Truth hurts.

The Democrats would be better served if they changed the name from Martin Luther King holiday to Civil Rights Day. That would be fair to all the people, both black and white, who gave civil rights to all of us.

Otherwise their "teach-ins" have zero traction. Worrying that someone, somewhere may get more money back than you, is plain stupid.

It will be interesting to film these people teaching about judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin
