House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi fielded a question during a CNN town hall Wednesday from a business owner who clearly took issue with her characterization of the Republican tax cuts as “crumbs.”

“We are a small business with seven full time employees that provide the fertilizer and seed products to our farm customers,” said the business owner named John. “When the tax and jobs bill was passed, I gave my employees $1,000 bonus, plus a 5 percent pay increase that they appreciated very much. Add to that the reduced withholding from their pay collection and it turned into a noticeable increase in income. This certainly was not crumbs to them. My question is, what can you add to this legislation that would also contribute to the growth of jobs and wages in our country?”

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

And then Nancy lied and said he was one of a "handful" of companies that gave bonuses.

Yeah no.  There have been a little over 500 companies that have given raises or bonuses because of the tax cuts.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Out of 30 million businesses in the US?

Are you actually arguing that 0.00000017% isn't "a handful"?

It's certainly not crumbs as Nancy was insinuating Especially when some of those are Fortune 500 companies.

Question for this business owner: how are you going to pay for the tax hikes down the road that will be necessary to pay for the trillion dollar Trump deficits?
