Tax Cuts The Day After; Dem's Just Made Massive Mistake As Corporate America Passes On Huge Bonuses To Staff

 Nancy Pelosi, bless her heart, tried her best at a rant worthy of Pravda circa 1957:

"Nancy Pelosi: GOP Tax Plan Is "Simply Theft," Unrepentant Greed Of "Permanent Plutocracy" Is A Moral Obscenity"

Rep; Steve Israel "The GOP Just Bet Their Majority on a Tax Bill No One Likes"  

What no MSM/Dem's foresaw; Corporate America passing on their Trump tax cuts to employees. This on top of their direct tax cuts to come early next year.

Here is the immediate result of the "plutocrats" in action;



AT&T; Following tax reform passage AT&T said that it would give more than 200,000 U.S. union members a special bonus of $1,000

Wells Fargo & Company  said it would raise the minimum wage for its team members to $15 per hour and earmark $400 million for philanthropic initiatives in 2018. Some $100 million of that total will be committed to boosting small businesses, while $75 million will support neighborhood revitalization efforts.

Comcast The Philadelphia-based telecom corporation said it would award $1,000 bonuses to more than 100,000 non-executive employees. In addition, Comcast NBC Universal Chairman and CEO Brian L. Roberts said the company plans to spend more than $50 billion in the next five years on infrastructure investments that are expected to create "thousands of new direct and indirect jobs."
In a press release, Comcast said the initiatives were "based on the passage of tax reform and the FCC's action on broadband."

 
Thus, in the immediate reaction, 313,000 employees, "union employees" being given a $1000 bonus each and at least 13,500 having their minimum wage raise to $15 per hour. And there's more;


Boeing;The aerospace and defense company immediately announced $300 million in investments after the bill passed, with $100 million toward corporate giving including employee gift-match programs, $100 million toward workforce development, training and education and $100 million toward enhancing Boeing’s workplaces.


Every single Democratic Congressman, in the House and Senate voted against this happening.All the Democratic Party leadership's anti-Trump/tax cuts was destroyed within hours of the bill passing.
All the pundit's messaging that the 2018 mid-terms "will be a disaster for the GOP" is out the window.

The Top Ten Takeaways From the Alabama Election




1.President Trump's instincts, in supporting Luther Strange, were absolutely right. He had no choice, to defend his senate majority, but to endorse Moore. President Obama suffered massive Congressional defeats but still enacted his progressive agenda via his “pen and phone.” He was of course re-elected so 2020 is not a given for the Dem’s either.

2. The Dem's won with filthiest election tactics and masses of out of state money. The seat is of course on loan but the GOP’s senate majority is now infinitesimal with Collins/Flake/McCain etc.  holding the party hostage.

3. Well the MSM "If Dem's lose they will win, if Moore wins GOP will lose" now has to be rewritten “Dem's win and lose GOP loses and wins."

4. All those "progressives'” @wonkette @dailykos etc who call Alabamans "buck toothed inbred morons" now find they deeply love their fellow Americans from wonderful Alabama

5. The political atmosphere can't change because the entire MSM is dedicated to bringing down Trump. This is a war to the finish with no holds barred. The base must Fight fight and fight again

6. Hopefully Jones win will encourage Hillary to revenge herself for the 2016 stolen election and run again in 2020

7. @foxnewspoll "Jones +10" must be the stupidest last minute poll ever run, Fox Polling Zero credibility from now on. The entire polling industry failed yet again. Not a single poll had Jones winning except Fox which spoiled their prediction by making Jones potential win a ludicrous figure.

 8. Steve Bannon is done. Out of the administration and will never be sought for advice, and his endorsements will not be sought either. Sarah Palin lives to fight another day. Although she endorsed Moore early she did not campaign for him once the mass of harassment attacks commenced.
 
9. Black women Dem's having a field day "We are the heart of the base we have the power etc. This is most certainly true and may affect 2020 in Florida/North Carolina but Black vote which was  at its height in Pennsylvania can still see the GOP win the state and the Electoral College with massive Republican turnout in rural areas.

10. The GOP Establishment from McConnell to, Alabama Senator Richard Shelby, who refused to support Moore and put the GOP’s agenda in great peril, were instrumental in Moore’s loss. The day of reckoning is coming either for the Establishment or the base.
