What we know is that it will never pass, no matter what is in it.

Flake and Collins were grandstanding on TV about how the plan’s 1.5 trillion “investment” should go to the middle class, not corporations and their rich shareholders.

Corker hates Trump.

McCain REALLY hates Trump.

That’s 4 votes he’ll never get.

Pigs will fly out of my butt before Trump recovers any of those votes from the other side of the aisle.

So... it’s a lot of talk, but a no-go.

And NO ONE talks about cutting spending... how can they even think to call themselves conservative.

"Corker hates Trump.

but neither is even as capable of hating the President as Susan Collins, known as The Queen of Infanticide.

Exactly right. House bill was unbearable, Senate is going to be even worse. No bill will pass. Stock market will drop 20%.

Yes, lets tax the hell out of the people that put the most money in the economy. That’s the ticket!

The top 1% of earners pay about 40% of Fed Income Tax. Less than 1 million people pay 40% of the tax bill of 300 million plus.

The top 10% of earners pay 70% of all Fed Income Tax. That is about 1.7% of the population paying 70%. (Stats from Herman Cain show site)

Lets soak this top 2 % a little more. I’m sure the other 98% will vote for that!

The whole “reduce taxes on middle income taxpayers” is a joke. It is so little savings for so few people. OTOH, you are taking tens of thousands from the “wealthy”. Guess what they do with their money? Spend it!

Class envy at its best.
