We always knew that Nancy Pelosi has no idea how the average American lives. In her protected, coddled, wealthy world she doesn't have to worry about paying her bills, finding money to repair her car, getting access to healthcare, or funding any of the myriad of little drains on the pocketbook.
But, being the nice people that we are, we had no idea just how little she knows or cares. We need to set the record straight. We need to thank those companies who issued bonuses following the passage of the rewrite of the tax code. We need to let our Senators and Representatives know that it does matter. It matters very much.
Very few Americans look on $1000 as crumbs. That $1000 could be a new set of tires, cleaning and checks at the dentist, clothes, plumbing repairs, soccer gear, a road trip. $1000 is 2.5% of $40,000. So for someone in that income range, it represents more than the 2% cost of living increase Social Security recipients got in 2017 or will get in 2018.
By calling the bonuses handed out by companies "crumbs" she marginalized all hardworking Americans. That makes me angry.
