Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Shumer live & govern for the kickbacks the "evil corporations" provide them, so they are dishing out the "evil corporations" the BIG bucks

Small business can't afford the kickbacks, so they get crumbs.

For how many years have we heard "Republicans are in bed with the evil corporations"?

Who is in bed with the evil giant corporations now? The Dems are spitting on the little guy.

So, all of you Dems who have been about the Trump tax cuts for evil corporations; where are you now? Where's the outcry?


Here's how the stimulus has been divvied up:

American citizens = 18% ($1,200 ea x 300M/$2.1T)

Small businesses = 17% ($350B that must be totally directed to payrolls)

Wash DC & big business = 65%, & they can spend it nearly as they please 100% - (citizens % + small biz %) (no buybacks, or exec bonuses)


It's not Red vs. Blue, it's all of them, against me & you.

Is the $170B worth of tax breaks to real estate investors part of the "big business" or "small business" do you reckon?

Looks like the $1,200 head fake worked. Nobody cares about $1.6T being stolen by Wash DC, and evil corps.

I'm wasting my breath.

Of course, the Dems have no defense of Pelosi's actions on this. Dem posters here screamed about Trump's Big Biz tax cuts from the highest mountains....and now, they are crawling under the nearest rock.

Now the shoe's on the other foot,and its the Dems cozying up to Big Biz, so its crickets chirping from the hypocrital Dem party supporters.

Why are the Dem's making love with Big Biz? You dont want to answer that do you? You'd rather deflect to .0003% of the $2.1T.

I'm sure I could go back through your posts and find where you were sreaming bloody helll about the Trump big biz tax cuts, so where are you now that Pelosi's carving up $1.7T of pork for the Fortune 500??

Orange man bad, Pelois good...give me a break. Hypocrisy at its finest.

You do understand that the Dems control one part of Congress right? You don't blame the Senate Republicans or the President for such a large amount going to big business, but you do blame the Dems in the House? Not so good at math, eh?

Forbes (conservative leaning) is reporting that a huge portion of the CARES act money is going to the ultra-rich, and that people who make $1m or more are, on average, getting back some $1.7M compared to our $1200. (They point out it's an average, and that someone who 'only' makes $1M is likely not getting $1.7M back, it is an AVERAGE.)


As usual, the program that is marketed to help the working class is actually helping the ultra rich.

I don't blame Trump, Mitch or Nancy. I blame them all. It took support from both chambers and the POTUS to sign this bill into practice, so the blame goes to all. Dems, R's or FakePOTUS-Trump all could have stopped the payout to the rich, none of them did.

He/she does not WANT to understand that. I posted similarly before I saw your response.


Beach seems to think "orangeman good". I am saying he is bad, and I'm not giving D's or R's a pass either.

Because all of DC has for a long, long time. They all bow down to their corporate overlords. Why is this surprising to you? Sadly, I've come to expect it.

Oh, so $170B is small potatoes now, eh? Noted. Just trying to figure out if you're allotting these "small potatoes" to the small business pot or the big business pot. Care to answer?

The fact that you think Dems are the ones pandering to the Fortune500 the most is what's hypocritical.

They both do it, but the GOP is the bigger transgressor on that front.

Yep. Business as usual in the Fed Gov.

Drain the swamp?

To be fair this is in fact a narrative I have been seeing in Democrat circles.
