On his nationally syndicated radio talk show Thursday, host Mark Levin slammed Republicans for their new “schizophrenic” tax proposal, saying they are acting like “good little Marxists” but that their proposal “is not tax reform.”
“The Republicans are sounding like good little Marxists,” said Mark Levin. “They’re worried about class warfare rather than talking about slashing taxes across the board and reforming the tax code, maybe a fair tax, maybe a flat tax – all that’s out the window. This is not tax reform.”
Levin’s comments came after Republicans in the House released a new tax proposal the “Tax Cut and Jobs Act” on Thursday. Levin read a report from CNBC that details the GOP tax proposal.

This is what I expected.
Paul Ryan sucks! He is the worst. He is a failure. He is incompetent. HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED!
1. Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

Ryan doesn’t seem to mean what he says and do what he says he’s going to do.
Levin is right.
Tars, feathers, and pitchforks for the Sewer Rats.
I’m not interested in anything these jackasses put forward.
They are going to have to be taught a harsh lesson in 2018.
Tax simplification. Trump undid all those complications (designed to bring in more taxes) that have been forced on us by every President since LBJ—not including the stuff pushed on us by Woodrow Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt, and FDR.
One purpose was more taxes. Another purpose was to encourage the states to raise more taxes and spend more money and become more reliant on the Feds. Yet another was to make it impossible for anyone to pay their taxes without making some error, so they could send in the helicopters and arrest us until we straighten it out—which is impossible.
Donald Trump gets it. But the RINOs and the DemonRats don’t like it—naturally.
Is this the guy who wanted Hillary to win?
The only worthy reform would be a flat (10%) tax or fair tax.
And it’d have to be coupled with major welfare state / spending reform.
THE GOP: mostly Leftist Light - less filling but tastes terrible.
4. No import tariffs and one sided free trade
Seems like hardly anyone likes this tax bill. Time to scuttle it and start fresh.
About the only thing it has in common with the goals President Trump set is that it’s a one page tax return form for most people. That doesn’t make it a good bill at all.
C’mon Ryan, McConnell, et al! You can and must do better. Don’t give the left ammunition to use against you! How self-defeating is that unless maybe that’s the goal.
Helping the middle class a little bit at the expense of the poor is a non starter.
The GOPe is terrified about Mitt Romney’s 47% who vote, but do not pay taxes. That’s why Paul Ryan proposes complicated deduction tricks that take money from your left pocket, to claim he’s putting money in your right pocket, instead of simple rate reductions for all.
Ditto with his half-azzed, complicated shell game Obamacare reform instead of simple repeal. And still there is no actual legislation on reducing big government, building the wall, or real military investment.
So we get a tax reform plan designed to be appealing to non-taxpayers.
It’s pathetic.
Thanks. I guess he had killed off his show to such an extent that few people noticed the change.
Levin, of course, would prefer to get nothing done. He ignores congressional reality and a 2 vote margin.
The RINOs will never learn their lesson, until we get another House Speaker like Newt. I now believe they actually prefer being the minority party so they get to pontificate about all conservative things for votes while "crossing the aisle" and get invited to the best parties.
I know the plan is to "primary" the RINOs out, but that's not going to happen because of the power/money of incumbency.
Politics is the art of the possible,
The Democrats have for decades taken what they could get, any tiny victory at a time, Levin and others don’t seem to realize that the mere fact of an (R) by the name doesn’t mean that person is in ideological lockstep with what he, and many here consider to be ‘True Republicanism’.
If this is the best they can do, then doing nothing would be preferable. Making Deals for the sake of making a deal is crap. President Trump need to run against these folks in the mid-terms, or give a series of speeches that explains why this is a good deal. Just saying this is a great deal, when the evidence indicates otherwise, isn’t good enough.
