Actually, I didn't get a bonus, so in effect, these bonuses are coming out of my pocket.   And that's true of anyone who hasn't gotten a bonus.   The government borrowed money in your name to finance a tax cut, part of which goes directly into other people's pockets in the form of bonuses.  

But most people are just too dumb to see this.

"Finance a tax cut" is the best of the propaganda tactics of the left. Revenue has NEVER been the problem with the government, it has ALWAYS been overspending. The idea that taking less of my money today is like Uncle Sam writing me a check as a gift is absurd. Hey, I'm going to steal your wallet, but I'll give you back the 2 bucks in cash you had. And then some other guy says, "that was my $2 bucks he gave you." Whatever.
