When the GOP passed tax reform, giving roughly four out of five Americans a tax cut, they did it without the necessary 60 votes to make them permanent because we all know Democrats HATE IT when people keep more of their own money.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t they have supported tax reform that has resulted in raised wages, lowered bills and bonuses for millions of Americans? At this point with the news breaking seemingly every other day about a corporation doing something awesome for its employees and/or customers, Dems just look like petty little bitches playing politics.
So it’s no wonder Cruz is calling them out:
I invite Senator Sanders and all of my Democratic colleagues to join me today and make tax rate cuts for hardworking middle class families permanent: https://t.co/Y1oQaJQ4kj pic.twitter.com/3BxHyHFegn

C’mon Bernie, put up or shut up.
@Bernie bro you said on live TV you wanted to make them permanent so you best keep your word mr Sanders

Wouldn’t count on it, chief.
And per usual, Cruz tweets and the stupid just OOZES out of the cracks of Twitter:
Dems voted zero to President Trump's tax cuts. You're late to the party!
Shameless!

They’re not Trump’s tax cuts … you know what, never mind.

Oh NOEZ, not a bunch of hashtags!
You should have prioritized that in the first place. You make bad choices.

Huh?
Oh if only this were the truth. Lyin' Ted. Party over country every vote. #VoteBeto

We’re still not sure if any of these people actually read the bill.
Look at you trying to save your job.

Cruz is trying to save his job by asking Dems to make tax cuts permanent?

THEY WANTED TO.
Democrats wouldn’t support the bill … so if you’re not happy then yell at the Democrats. This reminds us of the CHIP funding that Republicans tried to provide back in NOVEMBER.
No, they had to have 60 votes to make it permanent. The Dems wouldn't help. So, now they're trying again because Bernie said he'd help. He probably won't though.

And no, he probably won’t.
Too little; too late.

Stupid of this level really should be painful.
Just sayin’.
Quit namedropping @SenSanders. All you've been doing is making sure you've been seen on stage with him as many times as possible so you might have some poor fools misguided hope at stealing some of his independent voters in 2020. It's transparent and frankly sad as fuck.

Uh-oh, this one has a black fist. He or she means business.
HAAAAAAAAAA.
