Hogwash, with all due respect.
Republicans lost in the affluent suburbs because their “tax cut” was, in fact, a tax increase on the upper middle class in blue states.

This is something most outside of the big blue states don't realize.
For example, there are nearly 5 million registered Republicans in CA.
There are more registered Republicans in CA than there are the entire state populations of:
Louisiana, Kentucky, Oregon, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Iowa, Utah, Nevada, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kansas, New Mexico, Nebraska, West Virginia, Idaho, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Maine, Montana, Rhode Island, Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska, District of Columbia, Vermont, Wyoming.
Not everyone in CA (or NY) is a millionaire living in a mansion. There are many (R)'s in the big blue states that effectively saw their tax obligations go up. Is that the end all be all reason why we lost 27+ seats in the House? Of course not. It is a factor though, and that's a whole lot of (R)'s to piss off financially.
People often vote with their income in mind, even libs.
Look at the story out of WA state where the voters, voted down a "carbon tax." Even the greenies aren't willing to part with their money for one of their favorite cause's. Someone else's money? Yeah, sure. But not their own.
