Congressional Democrats Turn on Blue-Collar Workers and Retirees

[Missouri_Mike]

Nope. The difference? I'm not trying to defend Democrats but that is how you've been trained to think.

I condemned every single spending bill under the Democrat's for the same reason.

But you keep voting for them.

You vote for them.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

You vote for them.

So you don’t vote at all?

 

[pknopp]

So you don’t vote at all?

I absolutely do. Why would you even ask this question?

 

[Missouri_Mike]

I absolutely do. Why would you even ask this question?

Because if you do vote, and vote for democrats that fight against spending cuts of any kind. Why are you blaming MAGA for the deficits. We’re good with cutting the spending but can’t cut hardly anything because the democrats will vote against it.

On the national level I have voted (D) once in the November elections. I voted for Joe Manchin once.

Republicans don't need a single Democrat vote to not create more debt.

 

[Dorian Mode]

That's been obvious since last Nov when Dems bled out from their base, unions abandoned them and they lost every swing state to a guy they spent 4 years trying to destroy.

Dems are the party of the taxpayer sponges, government workers and the deadbeats.

Democraps say they represent the working class just to get votes, then they take a big crap on the working class. If anyone follows the democrap money flow they 'll see that democraps only spend money on fellow democraps and the Big Money donors that buy the democraps. That being said, it's a shame the BBB has so much spending in it, but we have to realize that most of the GOP is bought and paid for by Big Money too, and they need to reward their benefactors. So, Trump is giving them their pork and hopefully the RINOs will then do what's right for the working class. Politics is a dirty game.

Again and again and again until the working class was fed up with the Dem's lies and betrayal and ***** SLAPPED them into the minority.

A stripper gets a tax break because the $1 bills stuffed in her G-String are tips.

A teacher doesn't get a tax break because - well - no tips.

So tips for nips.

BOTH PARTYS STINK.

There is NOTHING in the bill that exempts seniors from taxes on Social Security.

Do we need to bring this up again?

We received a lengthy letter from Dominion's defamation lawyers explaining why they believe that their client has been the victim of defamatory statements. Having considered the full import of the letter, we have agreed to their reques...

Let's bring it up again. Social Security was billed by democrats as a tax free, privet, saving account. It would be there whenever you needed it. It was a democrat, Jimmy Carter that started giving it away to ones never paying a dime into it. It was a democrat congress that voted to start borrowing it and again it was every dime they 'borrowed'. It was a democrat congress that voted to start taxing it, with Algore casting the deciding vote AND IT IS THE DEMOCRATS THAT ALWAYS ***** AND WHINE THAT REPUBLICANS ARE ALWAYS GOING TO STEAL IT. Democrat voters sure are stupid.

so ole john, still haven't seen your post on how the rich get richer? did you fail to comply?

 

[jc456]

MAGA lies.

did they vote for the BBB? no, hence, voted against the poor, the middle class and retirees. Can't make it up! NOt lies, facts. read it.

 

[jc456]

BOTH PARTYS STINK.

cop out

 

[jc456]

Pretty much the whole thing is just extending the tax system we have already been doing for eight years now. Pretty much every new thing added helps the poorer and the middle class, not the rich at all.

pknopp , no counter argument huh? can't explain how that is fake. how,? I'll wait.

BBB: Congressional Democrats Turn on Blue-Collar Workers and Retirees​

BBB: Congressional Democrats Turn on Blue-Collar Workers and Retirees

The Democrat failure to support President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill is a slap in the face to their traditional constituencies.

www.americanthinker.com

2 Jul 2025 ~~ By Ned Barnett

Sometimes I wonder if anyone with an IQ above room temperature has been guiding the leadership of the Democrat party.
Case in point: Last night’s vote on Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill (BBB), a massive tax and spend bill that includes a number of important tax cuts that will benefit blue collar workers – including those who depend on tips – as well as seniors living on limited and fixed means.
While the bill passed thanks to the almost monolithic support by the thin Republican majority, the Democrats unanimously opposed it – in essence, turning their backs on their most important core constituents: Blacks, blue collar workers and seniors.
They did this in the House back in the Spring, and they did it again last night.
Fortunately for their former key constituencies, the Democrats’ opposition to this bill failed to stop it from passing in its current form.
However, the fight isn’t over. The Senate bill is far different from the House bill, and finding common ground could see the coalition in support of this legislation fail. Should that happen, Trump and his allies would be wise to offer the tax cuts for seniors and tip-dependent blue collar workers as a stand-alone bill. It needs to be passed.
Why is this a betrayal? It’s simple. The BBB contains provisions exempting tips from being taxed by the IRS – great for millions of blue collar workers who depend on tips, along with their families – as well as for exempting seniors from income tax on their Social Security and other income. For those struggling on a fixed income, this is like manna from heaven – a gift beyond price.

For those struggling on a fixed income, this is like manna from heaven – a gift beyond price.
Bottom line: If their opposition to this bill isn’t a betrayal of the Democrats’ traditionally most important constituencies, I’m not sure what would be.

What does all of this mean?
In terms of upcoming elections in ’26 and ‘28, every single Republican candidate for any office should create at least one powerful television ad showing how vehemently the Dems in office – from Schumer on down in the Senate, and Jeffries and his crew in the House – rallied their troops to vote against Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.
~Snip~
In this critical vote, the Democrats showed their true colors. They’d rather damage their opponent than support their millions of loyal – until now – friends. This Congressional vote against tax relief for blue-collar workers and seniors could mark the victory for Republicans in 2026, and again in 2028, when voters by the millions will come out to reward those who supported them with the most significant tax reduction in decades.
Seriously, what this means in 2026 and 2028 – assuming the Republicans realize the gift that Schumer and Jeffries have given them, and also assuming the Republicans use that gift to create on-target campaign ads – is even bigger margins in the Senate and House in 2026, and a repeat presidency in 2028.
How this is managed is up to the Republicans (I hope you’re listening), but the gift is theirs for the taking.


Commentary:
Any time the DSA Marxist Democrats claim they only want to tax the rich, what they mean is ANYONE WITH A JOB!
To DSA-M Democrats, rich means is defined as any Blue Collar worker that natively speaks English.
All the Democrats voted to revert back to the old standard deduction and impose a $4 trillion tax increase on the American people.
Not just the DSA-M Democrats, include Republicans Thom Tillis, Susan Collins and Rand Paul, they also voted for an increase in our taxes.
Unbeknownst to DS-M Democrats, by opposing the BBB, they give the GOP plenty of ammunition for the 2026 mid-terms. Every Democrat running again next year can truthfully be said to have voted against middle class working people. Nail ‘em to the wall with it.
What we've come to understand is that Democrats abandoned the Blue collar workers and core constituencies started under Bill Clinton.
Congress wanted to give him a ‘Win’ and so they approved NAFTA. A year later, they approved the Doha round of GATT, allowing for trade in services. This led to outsourcing of jobs and, later, insourcing of workers who displaced American workers. They blocked Bush’s free trade deals but then approved them under Obama which in turn has crippled manufacturing. Today’s Democrat constituencies are primarily Federal government workers and outside contractors. Democrats’ rejection of BBB and of Americans who work for a living is no surprise.
The usefulness of the American manufacturing and it's workers long been over for DS-M Democrats. That has been apparent now for decades.

DemoKKKrats are forced to admit they believe "billionaires" work for tips and get overtime.

The author of the article is an idiot.

AI overview......
Polls indicate that Democrats overwhelmingly oppose the recently passed "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," a major legislative package associated with Donald Trump.

Here's a summary of poll findings:

• Quinnipiac Poll: A Quinnipiac University poll showed that 89% of Democrats oppose the bill, with only 2% supporting it.

what happened 50 years ago obviously gives Trump a free pass to lie now.
