        All the squabbling seems to be about the best way to help the ultra-rich. I'm sure screwing the working class and the poor has been in complete agreement from day one.

        Well, that will make us all feel so much better- lower taxes for the wealthiest! Merry Christmas - not funding CHIP, passing a Dreamer act, protecting Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid. Nope, just lower taxes for the wealthiest- REMEMBER THIS NOV 2018

        Why a lower rate on the rich? Trump promised the rich would not benefit - right? Funny how sacred some of his promises are not at all. The really nasty and destructive ones he keeps.

        They can hardly argue this is about jobs and wages then, can they? Focusing tax cuts largely on the rich and fabulously wealthy merely guarantees a Russian style Oligarchy, and further consolidation of wealth and power into the hands of a true small cabal and junta.

        Decision to screw the lower and middle classes has already been made. Now it's all down to how to best reward the rich, especially their wealthy donors and lobbyists, who authored the bill and fund the kleptocracy.

        To be clear, "higher" only means higher than the proposed heavily cut corporate rate. #GOPTaxScam

        #GOPTaxScam raises taxes on veterans who make up to $75K a year by 2027. All so @sendavidperdue can get a personal tax cut.

        I don't get this. Why are the wealthiest paying the LEAST amount for taxes? Aren't they the ones who should be paying the most?

        This bill is going on the "trickle down" theory that failed in the past. Corporations won't reinvest this cut in employees, it will be used to buy back stock and payouts to stock holders.
