Dems vow to repeal parts of GOP tax law (Suicide Watch)
The Hill ^ | February 1, 2018 | MIKE LILLIS AND NAOMI JAGODA

Democrats are vowing to undo parts of the GOP’s tax-code overhaul if they win back control of the House in November, hoping President Trump’s first major domestic achievement will be a liability for the Republicans in the midterm elections.

The effort is reminiscent of the Republicans’ long-drawn campaign to hammer away at the Affordable Care Act and turn President Obama’s signature health-care expansion into a down-ballot albatross for the Democrats — an effort that helped the Republicans retake the House with sweeping election victories in 2010.

“I would welcome Democrats running for election based on, ‘Let us slow down the American economy, raise taxes and make sure people’s paychecks are stagnant for another decade,’ ” House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) told reporters earlier this week.

hoping President Trump’s first major domestic achievement will be a liability for the Republicans in the midterm elections.

So the Dems are hoping that voters are going to be ticked off about the fact that they have more money in the bank?

The Democrats are projecting too far in the future, What is looming ahead of them can destroy their party and disband it.

In other news, water is wet and bears defecate in the woods.

Of course the 'Rats will try to claw back the money. Taxes are how you get OPM to give to LIV's.

Great plan! Tell voters that if elected, you will raise their taxes. President Mondale did that when he was running…..oh, never mind.

So these same Democrats who call my $1700 tax cut “crumbs”, and who have never cut income taxes on the middle class since JFK, are now going run on repealing it? Sounds like a real winning strategy.

DemocRats want to take back that bonus you got because of the corporate tax cut.

That money is IN PEOPLE’S POCKETS!

The dims think they are going to reach in and take out what was just put there??

Usually, dim taxes hit slowly and quietly. This would be a shot between the eyes.

Better to try to take a raw steak from a Pit Bull.

‘Let us slow down the American economy, raise taxes and make sure people’s paychecks are stagnant for another decade’

Didn’t Zero run on that platform? He didn’t say it exactly that way, but he campaigned on policies that would accomplish just that. Then he called it ‘hopenchange’ and won. Go figure.
