Two percent of U.S. adults said they had gotten a raise, bonus or other additional benefits due to the Republican tax law enacted a month ago by President Donald Trump, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Monday.

Hailed by Republicans as a boost for the middle class, the law is expected to be framed as a win by Trump in his State of the Union address on Tuesday and to be a key theme for both parties headed into November's congressional elections.

1. It won't matter - they will "believe" they are getting a raise.

This kid was at my house the other night - telling me how "he's already making more" since the tax cuts...this was a week ago!

I just shook my head - this kid works for temp agencies...no way he is making more of anything.

I didn't even bother engaging this guy - he's spent most of his post high school life in jail...basically lived in car as a kid.

Kind of pathetic - but as long as he "believes" he is getting a benefit - he will vote Trump (maybe, probably a felon)

3. Well I work for a living still, no retirement for me...ever

And I can report no damn raise, no bonus, zero from Shitlers grand tax cut, but then again...

I'm not a billionaire or a multinational conglomerate which are the only entities that will see any benefit from this Trump robbery from the treasury.

2. That's less than the number reporting alien/UFO contact. n/t

4. It's all a sick joke

Lets just say that every working class stiff in America actually did get a 1000 bucks from Dump's tax cut this year.

I read a story about Trumpcare jacking up rates 30% minimum next year so...bye bye 1000 and add another grand or two to it as well.

I swear deplorable Trump humpers are the dumbest f**king morons on the planet!

5. These bonuses are all PR stunts

6. Bonuses will flow closer to the election

to try to convince folks that the tax bill is awesome and repugs need to be reelected. Just a guess.

7. We've been told point blank we won't be getting one
