Let's all get our best Captain Renaud shocked faces on.
The GOP tax plan favors the super rich! Who could possibly have guessed this would come to pass?
The WaPo breaks it down. TL;DR: super wealthy people about to die (the rich), big corporations, (the rich) people pay the alternative minimum tax (the rich) and people who own "pass through" corporations (the rich) all make out great.
Home builders (mostly middle class tradesmen), some small business owners (middle class), and anyone in the upper middle class in a state with a high tax rate will see this tax bill either increase their taxes or hurt their business. Meanwhile, the working poor get nothing and charities get hosed.
Remind me again how Trump voters are "economically anxious". Remind me again that this isn't about white racial grievance or the toxic alternative universe created by right wing media.
I'm sure all those Trump voters who cared so much about "draining the swamp" are really going to hold those Republican congresspeople to account. Any minute now....
Any minute...
