BBB: Congressional Democrats Turn on Blue-Collar Workers and Retirees2 Jul 2025 ~~ By Ned Barnett
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
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.

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.

These lousy excuses are going to hurt us. They have debt because you and many others will not hold any accountable.

Nope. Liar.
They want to tax people who earn over $400,000 more.
They want to tax George Soros more. You don't.
Donald Trump is giving himself a self-dealing tax cut.
Another reason the Democrats opposed this bill is because in order to pay for Soros's and Trump's tax cuts, millions of people are going to lose their health insurance.
It is YOU who doesn't care about the middle and lower classes and who drinks the piss.
You also don't care that Donald Trump is single-handedly responsible for almost one-third of all the debt of the 47 presidents COMBINED.
