    Ben McDonald Retweeted Katy Tur

    She didn't say she was going to buy a $1000 house she said it'll help go toward buying a house. This snobbish dismissiveness from the media is why they get the hate they dohttps://twitter.com/KatyTurNBC/status/960603469370535937 …

    Ben McDonald added,

    Katy TurVerified account @KatyTurNBC
    Woman who just spoke says she's going to use her $1,000 bonus and tax cut to help buy a home and pay for her two kids who are going to college. In Hamilton Co, Ohio (where they are) avg home is $277,582 Avg cost of private college nationally ~35,000 Public $19,000

        According to some sources, @KatyTurNBC 's net worth is about 8 million dollars (including cars, etc.) Her salary is reputedly 1 million. So she (like all #Dems) can afford to scoff @ a woman to whom $1,00 will help her to buy a home. #crumbs #democratshateAmerica #Democratelitism

        @MyInfoLaura1 i think of how the 2-3 thousand $$$ bonuses were discounted too. Hell that is a lot of money to buy cars with.

        I can taste the sanctimoniousness on my tongue. “Quick, list a higher number to greatly diminish the impact of a significant but smaller number!”

        Pointing out reality isn’t dismissive. Imagine if that bonus had been larger? Or if we were actually working towards closing wage gaps between workers + execs? Tax cut bonuses are nice, they aren’t nothing, but they are a tiny (temporary) baby step at most.

        Did she stutter? Or is that alternative reading?

        It's a one time bonus...the principal, interest, and insurance are ongoing expenses.
