    Jake Tapper on CNN: [N]ext year, 91% of middle-income Americans will receive a tax cut. Isn’t that a good thing? Bernie Sanders: Yes, it is a very good thing. And that’s why we should have made the tax breaks for the middle class permanent.(h/t WSJ) We will if Ds will vote yes.

        Isolated from every other crony part of the #GOPTaxScam, yes, obviously a permanent tax cut for middle-income earners is good. This thing was designed to continue massive advantages for capital over labor, and working people won’t forget it.pic.twitter.com/fOsf1ughX2

        Replying to @JohnCornyn

        But to do that, you shouldn’t have made the tax cuts on the wealthy so steep and permanent. How are we supposed to pay for infrastructure investment, or invest in retraining, or help fund R&D (which you disincentivized) if we don’t have the revenue?

        Of course, you probably realize that the next step is entitlement cuts...you just can’t say that out loud before 2018. But what you’ve done is made a yawning income divide worse, and along the way failed to fund the reinvestment this country needs.

        They already said it out loud before the ink was even dry. They've been saying it for months at that. What's worse: Republican "entitlement reform" is quite literally stealing from every working class American citizen. We pay into it directly, which is why they are entitlements.

        That's a LIE and you know it. YOU had the power to make it permanent, but CHOSE to give the PERMANENT breaks to the wealthiest bracket. You own this one. #CornynLies
