Average workers get meager tax cut

Well, it’s been close to a year now since the phenomenally hyped Republican tax-cut plan was signed into law, and guess what I’m still waiting for?

A tax cut.

Was the relief for average workers so tiny that it literally only amounted to a few cents extra on each paycheck, while all the real breaks went to tycoons and corporations that were already swimming in dough?

Thanks a lot, Republicans.

I think it was very appropriate that Newt Gingrich proudly referred to this legislation as a “piece de resistance.”

It reminds me of all those movie critics who tend to revert to fancy French words in praising movies that are actually turkeys.
