Is Joe Biden lying about Trump's tax cuts for the rich?

This past week, Joe Biden insisted that Trump's tax cuts helped only the rich. Considering the fact that Biden is dishonest as hell and economically illiterate, I won't accept Biden's opinions as fact. I especially won't accept Biden's statements as facts when I recall the series of articles Guy Benson wrote right around the passage and signage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

It took some digging in the archives to find the articles but I finally found them. This is the first article I found in 'the Benson collection.' It opens by saying "We've been having some fun at the expense of Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party's literally apocalyptic hyperbole and rhetorical overreach about the new tax reform law, showcasing examples of businesses large and small that are celebrating passage of the landmark legislation by paying out employee bonuses, raising wages, expanding, and making charitable investments."

Thanks to the MSM's misinformation, there was great apprehension over the tax cuts:

First, in a video I flagged as "must watch" on Twitter, CBS News delved into the personal finances of three families across the country to determine how the new tax law will impact them. Each household cut distinct profiles; a low-income single mother in North Carolina, a pair of middle-income married educators in Rhode Island, and married small business owners with three kids in California. One thing that all three families had in common: Anxiety about the GOP plan. None of them were optimistic about how the new system will affect their pocketbooks, with two families explicitly anticipating a tax hike. This reflects widespread public opposition to the bill, driven by aggressive misinformation from the Left. When an accountant ran the actual numbers, however, all three households discovered that their tax burden was going down. Watch the entire thing:
We'd be better off if Biden had learned at the feet of Prof. Steve Forbes:

How's this for a headline? "'Armageddon:' Major Companies Announce Hiring, Bonuses, Raises, and Charitable Donations Thanks to Tax Reform" Inside the article, we find out this:
Comcast says it's giving $1k bonuses to more than 100k employees, citing tax bill and FCC's net neutrality decision.
And this:
#Boeing announces
$300M employee-related and charitable investment as a result of #TaxReform legislation to support our heroes, our homes and our future.
The horror of it all: JUST IN: Fifth Third Bancorp announces plan "to raise its minimum hourly wage for all employees to $15, and distribute a one-time bonus of $1,000 for more than 13,500 employees" following passage of tax bill. http://cnbc.com/id/104910079
Finally, let's not forget this:
Who could have predicted this?????? "AT&T is giving $1,000 bonuses to 200,000 employees after tax bill" https://cnbc.com/2017/12/20/tax-reform-reaction-att-is-giving-bonuses-to-200000-employees.html
That's am awful lot of bonuses, pay raises and improved benefits for blue collar workers for a tax cut bill that's supposed to benefit only the rich. Perhaps Scranton Joe isn't the honest man he pretends to be. Biden's lies keep piling up. Yesterday, I wrote this article to highlight Biden's whopper on Bidenflation. It isn't a stretch to think Scranton Joe is just a liar.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
