Quote:Some Democrats are beginning to realize attacking the GOP tax law is not a winning strategy heading into the 2018 midterm elections. The law is helping the vast majority of American taxpayers and U.S. businesses and is becoming increasingly popular in polling.

Thus, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi repeatedly dismissing the bonuses many companies are giving their employees as “crumbs” is not helpful, and these five Democrats are saying something about it.

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN)': "I would not describe it as crumbs," Ellison told Business Insider. 'The income inequality is so bad that if you could pick up 1,000 or 900 bucks, maybe it helps."
Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee: "I recognize that something was in there. And where I come from, anything makes a difference," Luján told CNN.
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX): "'I would not use crumbs personally, and I think a lot of Blue Dogs would not use crumbs," Cuellar told Politico.
Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver (D-MO): "Language is important, and we have to be very careful that we don’t insult people by saying that the amount of money they get is crumbs," Cleaver told Politico. "We cannot be seen as patricians."
John Yarmuth (D-KY): "I would say it differently," Yarmuth told the Washington Examiner. "I wouldn't say a couple thousand dollars a year is 'crumbs.'" (Axios)

Pelosi is even being heckled at town hall events. As she was blasting President Trump and the GOP tax cuts, saying that "God never intended one group of people to live in superfluous inordinate wealth while others live in abject deadening poverty," noting that the quote was from Dr. Martin Luther King, one woman demanded to know if Pelosi was “in abject poverty.”

"How much are you worth, Nancy?" the woman asked.

What is it with dims and EARNING money. They can't even bring themselves to say the word. It's like garlic to a vampire.

I recall 100 years ago that little sawed-off mf Robert Reich talking for about an hour on the economy and not once could he bring himself to say the word earn. Everything was how much money they get. And he also always referred to employees as workers, as though upper managers or even the owner of a business doesn't work.

I hate socialists and the horse they rode in on.

She should come under fire.

These are the same Democrats that actually challenged Schumer and Pelosi leadership. They needed more Democrats to standup to them.

...but they didn't. Notice the states these two come from.........they could snort cocaine on live TV and the state is so Democratic leaning, it wouldn't matter. Too bad for those Democrats in purple or red states....
