The situation is dark for Democrats right now. Early Saturday morning, the Senate passed a rushed-through tax bill that disproportionately benefits the wealthy and corporations, the first major legislative achievement for Donald Trump and the Republicans. This bill will have to be reconciled with a House version of tax reform before it becomes law, but thanks to GOP majorities in both chambers of Congress, Democrats are utterly powerless in these negotiations. What's a liberal to do in the face of such adversity?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Who pays the bulk of the taxes?
40% pay no taxes and still demand a cut/check.
You cannot cut taxes for people who pay no taxes. How is this difficult for people to understand?
What you can do for people who pay no taxes is improve their situation by growing the overall economy and that’s what the tax cuts are designed to do.
