In response to the news of dozens of companies giving employees $1,000+ bonuses in the wake of tax reform, Nancy Pelosi referred to those bonuses as “peanuts.”
It’s certainly not a lot of money for her – but other Democrats, even those who strongly criticized the tax plan, have been smart enough not to make such elitist comments publicly.
It confirmed once again just how insane Trump truly has driven some on the Left. Just look at how she felt about a $40 a week tax cut some received under Obama through a temporary reduction in the payroll tax he signed in 2011:
Today’s agreement is a victory for the American people-they spoke out clearly & #40dollars each paycheck will make a difference.

What exactly could she possibly be complaining about anyway? This is businesses voluntarily giving up some of the tax cut they received to their workers, who are also receiving a tax cut. Let’s be honest: Corporate America redistributing anything less than 100% of that tax cut to their employees would be unacceptable to Pelosi, and she’d prefer such a scenario happen under a Democrat president anyway.
Meanwhile, as Pelosi rails against tax cuts for the private sector, she’s fighting for tax cuts to help preserve her own wealth. According to the Washington Free Beacon,
Just days after President Trump signed the sweeping tax bill into law late last month, Pelosi and her husband tried to preserve $64,000 in property tax breaks, known as the state and local taxes (SALT) deductions, for her two California homes. The new tax law limits the deduction to $10,000 and went into effect Jan. 1.
A net worth in the hundreds of millions – and she’s fighting to preserve an extra sixty-four grand?
Isn’t that just peanuts to her?
