Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus in an interview slammed Democrats on 
tax reform, telling them to use their brains. 

“Democrats, use your stupid brains. You don’t have any brains and don’t 
understand what happens,” Marcus said on Fox News on Saturday.

“This is not going to turn overnight. Corporations are not going to open 
14 buildings overnight. Come on, give me a break, you’ve got to use your 
brains,” he said, referring to improvements in the economy. 

{mosads}Republicans have said the recently passed GOP tax plan is helping 
the middle class, pointing to bonus announcements from companies such as 
Home Depot. 

The home improvement retailer announced last week it would be doling out 
$1,000 bonuses for employees who have worked at Home Depot at least 20 
years. 

Hourly employees who have worked for the retailer less than two years can 
expect a $200 bonus. Workers who have been at the company for 10 years to 
14 years will get $400.

Democrats, however, have argued the legislation only benefits corporations 
and the wealthy.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) came under fire from Republicans 
after she downplayed the $1,000 bonuses a number of companies have 
announced. 

“I’m not sure that $1,000 — which is taxed, taxable — goes very far for 
almost anyone,” she said.
