Democrats panic over avalanche of good economic news

Democrats sound plain silly as they continue to attack the GOP tax cuts.
Former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said at a recent town hall that $1,000 bonuses “wouldn’t go very far,” and they were taxable, so it wouldn’t really be $1,000 after all. Amazingly, she also said she hadn’t heard of any bonuses bigger than $1,000. 
Is she really that out of touch? As Fox Business host Charles Payne noted in a tweet, Schultz represents a district where the median household income is $50,000. Does she think her constituents wouldn’t welcome a $1,000 windfall?

Moreover, she apparently missed the announcements that Waste Management will pay $2,000 bonuses to 34,000 employees. She also failed to notice similar payments recently made by Fiat Chrysler and Apple
Schultz also neglected to mention the pay hikes announced by many companies, including AT&T, Wells Fargo, Fifth Third Bancorp, Boeing, Walmart and Comcast, that will make a permanent difference to workers going forward.
