Just like what one commenter had said "They just want to eliminate the middle class!" Quoting: cochise123 They just want to stay in positions power and promote their Communist agenda. Nothing else matters to them. You, I, their constituents, citizens, illegals, the poor, no one matters to them. They will do anything, say anything. To them, everyone is a tool for their use. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76247250 That way, Wall St and CEO's cannot give themselves huge tax free bonuses in lieu of pay. Aye. Anything more then 5k isn't "crumbs". Crumbs is highly subjective.

Quoting: cochise123 I like the orwellian way they put 'middle-class' in the title, so that stupid people think this is to benefit the plebs when the real beneficiary of this plan is, as always, the super rich. You might get to keep an extra couple of hundred on your $1k yearly bonus, but the CEO of the multi-national or the Wall Street banked will get to keep hundreds of thousands. I DESPISE Pelosi, but (without knowing what she actually said) she is probably correct on this. Throwing a few crumbs to the middle-class to stop them noticing huge slabs of cake being piled on the plates of the .1% |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75363557 United States 02/21/2018 06:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A Republican lawmaker is set to unveil legislation that would make most bonuses given out as a result of President Trump's tax reform plan tax-free -- and took a jab at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi with the bill's name. Quoting: cochise123 [link to www.foxnews.com] All bonuses up to 50% of your salary should be tax free. (not to be used for executives to get tax free income though). has to have a position limit, should not be for management and above only workers. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 75363557 United States 02/21/2018 06:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why is Pelosi and everyone else so concerned about the rich? Let them keep their money too. I want everyone to keep anything they earn. Pelosi can go fuck herself. Quoting: OldWhiteGuy the rich need to pay taxes on what they make over 250k a year. it would ease the middle class tax burden and allow more to be rich (or at least have a savings account). The rich are not exempt from anything. |

Quoting: cochise123 They seem to want people to need them and if they are independent well they don't need the crazy ass liberal politicians. It's so obvious they keep them angry and needy so they will worship the beast called the DNC. That's why they didn't clap or stand when the President announced in the SOTU that there are fewer blacks unemployed than ever before. They would much prefer it the other way around. |
