Democrats far and wide are melting down over Republican passage of President Trump’s historic Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, falsely claiming it only benefits the very wealthy and leaves the middle class abandoned.

Leading Democrats like Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have taken to Twitter to complain about the tax cut bill, claiming it does nothing to help the working class when in fact the bill represents the biggest tax overhaul in a generation, with reports of multiple companies already announcing wage hikes and bonuses for employees due to the bill’s passage.

> Republicans are about to take a victory lap to celebrate pillaging the future of America’s children. #GOPTaxScam

> — Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) December 20, 2017

> There are only two places where America is popping champagne over the #GOPTaxScam: The @WhiteHouse & the corporate boardrooms, including Trump Tower.

> — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) December 20, 2017

> Republicans are celebrating raising taxes on working families to give tax breaks to billionaires, corporations, private jet owners and themselves. Remember that. pic.twitter.com/gZX6Iq7C4d

> — Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) December 20, 2017

> The bill that the Republicans jammed through the Senate tonight isn’t tax reform. It’s a heist. Let's call this out for what it is: Government for sale. #GOPTaxScam

> — Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) December 20, 2017

> Something productive to do with your outrage today: https://t.co/XEUb0xLsSl

> In 2018, I hope you will channel your anger and energy into defeating those who voted to put their donors before hardworking middle-class families.

> — Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand) December 20, 2017

> The tax plan approved by Republicans in the House and Senate today is a gift to corporations and the top 1% at the expense of middle-class families. Americans deserve better.

> — Kamala Harris (@SenKamalaHarris) December 20, 2017

> The @GOP decided to put wealthy corporations ahead of working families, the 1% ahead of seniors, and the will of their donors ahead of the needs of the American people. We the people will remember this betrayal.

> — Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) December 20, 2017

> Corporations and the mega-rich just got a $1.5 trillion Christmas present, while 9 million children are still waiting to find out if they'll have health care in the New Year.

> It's painfully clear which Americans matter more to the GOP. https://t.co/ynOPnF7rGK

The liberal media and Hollywood appeared equally sullen about middle class tax relief, jobs and wealth coming back into America.

> The notion that the GOP tax bill will become way more popular once people see they're getting a tax cut seems naive to me.
