Even media benefitting. Irony hits.

Workers across the U.S. are beginning to see bigger paychecks as take-home pay increases due to the Republican tax reform law.
Middle-class workers are happy with the extra cash, which they are now receiving as employers implement new IRS withholding guidelines, which dictate how much employers withhold from pay for federal taxes, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
Employers have until Feb. 15 to make the changes, so workers who have not yet seen bigger paychecks may do so in the coming weeks.
Wayne Love works in managed care in Spring Hill, Florida, and got an extra $200 in his paycheck last week. He said the money will help offset a $300 increase in the cost of his health insurance.
“I have heard time and again that the middle class is getting crumbs, but I’ll take it!” Love told the AP by email, referring to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and other top Democrats who have referred to the worker bonuses and wage hikes due to the GOP tax overhaul as “crumbs” and “so pathetic.”
