The GOP tax bill is a disaster for everyone but the 1%. They dangle tax cuts in front of us, thinking we're too stupid to know the cuts will be cancelled out by lost deductions. Medicare/aid cuts hurt seniors, vets, disabled kids. IT'S A LOUSY BILL!

Yet it'll be met with awe and joy by FOX viewers, who think they're watching "God's News." Any decrease in their income will be blamed on Obama, Hillary, or the deep state somehow.

My father is happy to pay for the corporate tax because it's going to increase wages (a panel of CEOs said that they would NOT increase wages) and build the economy (he was apparently in a coma the last time they tried trickle-down.)

Sigh... it's like believing in fairy tales, except that the ogres are in the White House and Congress. I wonder how old your father is-- if he's on, or will soon be on, Medicare, he's in for a rude awakening...

He's 63 and is, ironically, counting down to his government entitlement. I wish those who were so vocally against "capitalism" would not be able to participate in those programs. You don't like Medicaid? Fine. Pay for your own nursing home.
-
Ironic? Hypocritical? Yes to both... but there's a lot of that going around among Trump followers. They can't deal with the facts, the logic. Sigh.

Bipartisan? Then why did Schumer and Pelosi skip the tax reform meeting? Better put on your seat belt Mark, things are going to get even bumpier for the Democrats.

Closed and secretive with pushing items through without debate or bipartisanship in NOT THE AMERICAN WAY, till now! So sad.

Yes, so sad. Where have you been for 30+ years? For first time in my lifetime Republicans are acting like they won! Which they did!

A damn shame that I have two Democratic Senators that understand how harmful this bill is. If I had a Republican Senator like say,
@SenCapito I’d be calling her office non-stop. - 1 more reply
