    I don’t think people appreciate how important this tax bill is. IF it passes, GOP can say they (a) passed tax reform, (b) repealed individual mandate, (c) confirmed Gorsuch AND a ton of fed judges, & (d) got rid of job-killing regulations. On paper, that’s not a bad 2017 agenda.

        I mean the ACA was like low 40s when it was passed and look at the backlash that followed.. can’t wait to see what happens with a bill in the mid 20s

        The ACA had NO support...no one knew WTF was in it, remember? The Obama droids voted for it because they were told to. And it killed us.

        I remember polling finding about 41% of public supporting it. Which supplied pently of fire to forge the Freedom Caucus in. I’m just saying, even mildly unpopular bills have severe consequences... a severely unpopular bill should have even more severe consequences

        And Dems can say: GOP rammed through tax cuts for the wealthy, began dismantling the healthcare system, nominated unqualified, universally white/male judges, and made the U.S. the only country in the world to pull out of the Paris Accord.

        I wonder though. If enough Americans benefit from the temporary tax reduction, they may not care about the rest

        2016 election notwithstanding, Americans are not dumb. $300 in their pockets for a couple of years vs. billions back to corporations and the wealthiest.

        To me it’s a bit difficult to compare the Bush tax cuts to the BS today. Bush’s tax cuts passed in July 2001, before 9/11. They were then extended in 2003. We should compare today moreso with Reagan’s tax cuts which he then had to raise taxes to make up for the downfall.

        Exactly. Yet, there are some that still worship at the altar of Reagan, refusing to acknowledge what actually happened.
