Democrat House Minority Leader Says …Wage Increases & Bonuses From Tax Reform are ‘Crumbs’ and ‘So Pathetic’ (VIDEO)

AND YOU WONDER WHY DEMOCRATS LOST THE BLUE COLOR VOTE … NANCY AND DEMOCRATS ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE …

As everyday, hard working Americans are receiving bonuses, increases in 401K contributions and increases in pay as a result of the GOP/Trump tax cuts from businesses, Democrat House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi showed just how out of touch she and Democrats are with the below response. Pelosi actually called the $1000 bonuses to millions of American workers, “crumbs” and “pathetic.” How elitist could one possibly be? This just shows the disconnect between Democrats and the American people. Crumbs? Actually Nancy, it is you that is pathetic!

“In terms of the bonus that corporate America received versus the crumbs that they are giving workers to kind of put the schmooze on is so pathetic,” Pelosi told reporters. “It’s so pathetic.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday dismissed as “crumbs” the recent wave of bonuses given to workers by large corporations in the wake of the Republican tax law’s passage.

“In terms of the bonus that corporate America received versus the crumbs that they are giving workers to kind of put the schmooze on is so pathetic,” Pelosi told reporters. “It’s so pathetic.”

Pelosi’s comments came as many large companies have announced one-time bonuses for workers and pay increases as a result of the tax bill. Companies including AT&T, Wells Fargo, and Visa have all announced various pay increases, one-time bonuses, or benefits increases, citing the tax bill as a factor.

The White House particularly highlighted an announcement by Walmart on Wednesday. The retail giant said it would increase its minimum hourly wage to $11 an hour and offer long-time employees a $1,000 bonus.
