You guys don't even realize what this tax bill means. It's Republicans signaling that they gave up any chance of getting a popular majority in the near future. The tax code is historically unpopular and I have not even seen good "fake news" reasons why it should be good for anyone. Some garbled B.S. about how trickle-down economics will surely work this time!
Tim Kane* published an
article:
Redefining 'Winners and Losers' on Taxes to convince us. It says that we were looking at it all wrong. Who cares if its better for rich people than poor people -- that point is ...it's good for America
Awww folks...Doesn't that warm your heart?
But the more realistic take is
Republicans Are Looting the Treasury While They Still Can. Because they know even if Trump can pull off a re-election somehow -- a lot of them and their lobbyists are pretty much fucked.
