North Dakotans are seeing the benefits from the Republican tax relief legislation that Heidi Heitkamp proudly voted against.
Walmart employees in North Dakota got a pleasant surprise yesterday when they received $1,000 bonuses. The checks are a result of the Republican tax cuts that have led more than 400 companies to raise wages, hand out bonuses and invest in their employees. Overall, more than 4,500 Walmart and Sam’s Club employees across the state will receive bonuses and pay increases.
The real-life benefits middle-class families are seeing are the exact opposite of what Heidi Heitkamp predicted when she promised the legislation would, “hurt North Dakotans.” Now that the results of the tax cuts are being felt throughout the state, will Heidi Heitkamp admit she made a huge mistake?
“As the tax cuts go into effect, voters are going to remember Heidi Heitkamp voted to deny them the bonuses, raises and bigger paychecks that are improving their lives,” said NRSC Spokesman Michael McAdams. “While Heitkamp’s been in Washington the last 5 years, she’s forgotten she’s supposed to do what’s best for her constituents, not her liberal Democratic bosses who remain vehemently opposed to letting middle-class families keep more of their money.”
