So they could get the bill passed...the bill that is literally putting more money in the pockets of millions and millions of Americans....all over the objections of Democrats.
Would you care to prove that as if you could? $1.50 a week is not anything great. Hell, here in Oregon wages went up last year by 3% without the Trump lies. Then too, most of those bonuses are going to long term employees, not the regular employee. The too, with the losses in the stock market yesterday millions were lost in pension funds.
But hey, the wealthy got theirs, and that is all you are concerned about.
Is that why reporting of the signing ceremony said this:
"At the signing ceremony, Obama said passage of the law was propelled "by the fact that tax rates for every American were poised to automatically increase on January 1st." If that had happened, "the average middle-class family would have had to pay an extra $3,000 in taxes next year," he said. "That wouldn't have just been a blow to them; it would have been a blow to our economy, just as we're climbing out of a devastating recession."
Obama declared: "I refused to let that happen. And because we acted, it's not going to. In fact, not only will middle-class Americans avoid a tax increase, but tens of millions of Americans will start the new year off right by opening their first paycheck to see that it's actually larger than the one they get right now."
If the law did nothing for the middle class why was it extended in the name of preventing tax increases for the middle class?
Uhhhh, a change in the economic conditions. Circumstances do change you know like from a recession to a growing economy.

I'd like a source that shows Republicans claiming someone making around $30,000 was going to get "thousands" in tax relief. Depending on your situation that person already could have an almost $0 federal income tax liability to begin with.
Did I mention $30,000 a year?
"A $1.50 a week is a far cry from the thousands the Repugnant ones promised. Of course you are too stupid to understand that being the partisan hack you are."
Why, no I didn't, just your lying eyes feeding you again: In telligent people knew that tax bill was not for the worker, just the 1%:

Is your real argument here that you wanted to eliminate the federal income entirely for an even larger group of people?
Do you understand, as if you could, how senseless that comment was?
So she won in a category that doesn't align with how we actually elect a President....gold star effort I guess!
Excuse me, but the popular vote is now defunct?
My point is simply that your, and Democrats in general lately, disdain for ordinary workers is something they need to reevaluate.
Right. Like busting unions, opposing minimum wages, like opposing healthcare for all, like hiring cheap foreign labor, like giving the countries wealth to the 1% while poverty increases amongst the working class.
Give it up Robbie. Being able to intelligently analyze any topic is far beyond your abilities.
