[EDITOR'S NOTE: Following are the first few paragraphs of a Jan. 12 article by Jack Crowe in The Daily Caller. A link to the full article follows.]
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s comments related to tax cut savings have changed dramatically over the past seven years: She previously lavished praise on former President Barack Obama’s $40 payroll tax cut, but now dismissed $1,000 bonuses corporate America is doling out to workers as a result of the recently signed GOP tax overhaul.
The wealthy California lawmaker called legislation extending a $40 payroll tax cut in 2011 a “victory for all Americans” and attributed the accomplishment to “Obama’s leadership.”
“160 million Americans will continue to receive their payroll tax cut — nearly $40 per paycheck in the pockets of the average family. I salute the work of the unified House Democratic caucus on behalf of the American people,” Pelosi said of the tax cut in a 2011 statement.
These comments stand in stark contrast to Pelosi’s dismissal of Walmart’s $1,000 bonuses announced Thursday, that were facilitated by the company’s tax savings. When asked about evidence of the tax bill’s immediate positive impact, Pelosi called the seniority based bonuses of up to $1,000 “crumbs.”
