Democrat Barbara Boxer makes a good case for even bigger tax cuts

Former U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer took a look at some charts posted by NPR on the GOP tax cuts and came to this shocking conclusion:

With your 2018 tax cut, if you're a janitor making $30K, you get $180 – almost enough for one Big Mac a week. If you own the building, you can fly to Paris business class each week & have dinner at Maxim's. https://t.co/VDTRvO9R00

Shocking! That’s not how communism is supposed to work at all.

So what Boxer is saying is …

Let’s cut more, then.

Shorter: People who earn more money, get to keep more of their income. Your tweet is asinine.

PS:. When was the last time you advocated for tax cuts for anyone, janitor or otherwise?

Wait…how much in Federal taxes is a janitor making $30K paying in the first place? https://t.co/84orVHJsWX

People who make more will save more. Pretty standard math. Pretty sure the guy who owns the building also pays a multiple of the janitor’s salary in taxes. Is she for real? https://t.co/yjUst1VrCK

If they own the building, they are providing jobs to custodians, managers, all sorts of maintenance and repair workers, and accountants.

You just don't get it. Never have, never will. https://t.co/L26dpycXMj

Do you realize how out-of-touch and elitist you and your sycophants sound? You are on the losing end of this and immigration reform.

Crumbs, assuredly.

Hi @BarbaraBoxer

I’m a teacher making $40k a year in Indiana. The tax cuts give me an extra $80/month, $960/year. That’s going to pay my monthly water bill, sewage, trash pick-up, and my child sponsorship in Bolivia.

Are you asking for that money back?
