It's a good business tax plan, but it's a misnomer to call it a middle class tax cut.

It approaches an untruth.

RINOs are good at pulling defeat from the jaws of victory...

But if he’s so worried, get busy and pass something!

Precursor of the 2018 and 2020 elections if Ryan, McConnell and Jeff Sessions don’t wake up.

It’s time for them to get their miserable lazy butts in gear and start producing.

Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) is an idiot.

The GOP had better pass a YUGE TAX CUT BEFORE YEAR'S END or they're all toast.

WARNING TO GOP: REJECT TRUMP AT YOUR OWN PERIL.

WISE-UP! PASS TAX CUTS! PRONTO!

STOP CHAIN IMMIGRATION!

FUND THE WALL!

FORGET THE DREAMERS!

BUCK-UP! MAN-UP!

There will be no tax reduction so long ass the law requires a zero-sum calculation of effect. Reagan and Kennedy both proved that it is not a zero-sum game. When taxes are high enough to depress economic activity then lowering the rates will raise more revenue. The situation applies. Taxes are way too high and Revenue is depressed thereby.

Some of these Republican senators were looking for an excuse to scatter. They will take anything.

Alabama has a senatorial election in early December, so we can look for another poll to come out just ahead of that date to “show” that Trump’s approval numbers have gone down even farther, and the poll will be taken as gospel by conservative commentators.

Which is why it has a slim chance of passing. K Street gets what it wants generally. The beltway GOP always is happy to tell Main Street to ESAD. Serving their big donors is their raison d’etres.

Wow, does the Virginia House of Delegates get to vote on national tax bills?

What complicates things is how the Republicans, by backtracking on every promise in their zeal to get along with Democrats, have showed themselves to be spineless, gutless, treacherous and useless.

I’m sure I could get possibly more excited about voting for a Republican than about taking a stool softener ... but I at least still expect results from a stool softener.

Exactly what changed that would jeopardize passage of the tax cuts?

Those were state and local elections, in areas where democrats were expected to win, which they did. Nothing else changed nationally. the U.S. senate and house remain firmly in control of republicans, and so is the presidency, as well as SCOTUS. Democrats “winning” in blue states is not the same as momentum towards changing anything nationally. Heck, even the one race for a U.S. congressman, was won by a republican.

So, why are republicans running scared? Methinks that some of them are looking for excuses to not pass tax cuts.

If a Senator’s political convictions can turn on a dime as a result of purely in-state elections in just two states - you’re RINO. He’s looking for an excuse.

Yeah, because local and state elections somehow, magically, put a bunch more Democrats into the National Legislature.

Orrin thinks we are dumb enough to accept this as an excuse for them to not even try to push through tax reform....

Even though the current bills are actually going to increase taxes overall for most of us peasants Take things out of different pockets to put into theirs. .

Ya know... I'm starting to not like these Uniparty Republicans elitist liars.

I call BS. Their only hope for survival is tax reform and the resulting economic growth. All the growth in the last years has been on the hope that Trump and the GOP would deliver economic growth from deregulation and tax cutting. If businesses see Republicans reneging on tax cuts, they will pull back on their investing and hunker down for more Obama no/slow growth. Then what will you have to run on, RINO’s?
