Pelosi: Dems Will Use MLK Day to Organize ‘Teach-Ins’ on GOP ‘Tax Scam’
Free Beacon ^ | 1/11/17 | Paul Crookston

Posted on 01/12/2018 7:17:00 PM PST by Libloather

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said Thursday that her party will be using the weekend of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to hold events criticizing Republicans' tax reform law.

Speaking at a press conference, Pelosi said that, while a similar push against repealing Obamacare worked well last year, the tax reform bill has already become law. Still, she justified her push to discount the tax plan by noting that King supported equality and therefore would support Democrats' vision of "economic equality" through higher taxes on the wealthy.

"This year on Martin Luther King weekend, we honor his commitment to equality," Pelosi said. "Our struggle is for genuine equality, which means economic equality."

Declaring the tax reform law a "scam," Pelosi outlined her plan to hold "teach-ins across the country" to oppose it.

Resistance is futile.

The California Democrat said it is important for people to understand that the tax law, which has led companies to increase wages and give out bonuses to employees, is actually damaging the economy and opportunities for Americans.

Must-see TV.

I have always argued in recent years that Dr. King was fighting politicians and political games particularly those of the Democrats and JFK, who wanted to make intergrationists and segregationists happy at the same time so Democrats could win elections.

What LBJ did with his “Great Society” was to buy off people with a welfare state to silence the civil rights protests.

When you’re in a hole, it is best to stop digging, Nancy. Do you think folks are going to believe their increased paychecks come February or your lyin’ eyes?

I thought everyone was already dead from net neutrality and the tax cut.

IF REPEATED STUPIDITY was an athletic event, Pelosi would always win the gold medal.

The truth is, is that the Left had to destroy King because blacks getting integrated and being equal was a no-no to the Dems.

That's why the Great Society was cooked up, so black families can be destroyed and they can be forever a lock for the Dems.

Darth Democrat: “These are not tax cut dollars you’re getting back.”

Taxpayer: “These aren’t tax cut dollars we’re getting back.”

Darth Democrat: “We will get your vote, now.”

Taxpayer: “We’ll vote for you now.”

The targets of these “teach-ins” don’t pay taxes in the first place.

Don’t pay taxes and are taking worthless majors of study on the taxpayers expense.

It gets very difficult to lie yourself out of a lie.

Pelosi sounded today like Hillary with Tourettes Syndrome. She was either mentally ill (I’ll go for that as her “Normal” state of affairs), drunk ( also a real possibility), on drugs (more likely), and functionally illiterate (always sounds like it).

San Francisco’s “FINEST” though she was born in Little Italy in Baltimore on Albemarle Street, the same street my mother was born on. However, my mother as a patriot (WW2 Air Raid Warden, Ration Board and Dept. of the Army civilian employee).

Pelosi is a shitfaced clone of her cowardly brother the 1960’s mayor who let the black racists burn out the Jewish businesses right near where she was burn. CRICKETS from him and her on that anti-Semitism.

There are about a dozen really evil people in the US who are trying to destroy us, and Pelosi is right up there with Schumer, Hillary Clinton and Valerie Jarrett, Little Dickless Durbin, George Soros, Farrakhan, Sharpton, Cuomo, DeBlasio, and Lawrence O’Donnell.

The rest of the Democrat leftists are just dumb, arrogance, corrupt, and treacherous traitors, like the above but as a Second Tier level.

I’m fascinated by what motivates her.

What made her heart so plainly black?

Coal black.

What gives her joy?

Her golden calves?

She’s like the Sid Barrett of politics left to forever spit hurtful and hateful nonsense.

I DESPISE him.
