  So, meet the new republicans, same as the old republicans?
context: Cultural populism may help win elections, but once in power the GOP tends to prioritize regressive economic policy. 
  
  The entire GOP strategy in a single compound sentence. >
  
  They borrow more money to pay for their tax breaks too.  Trump borrowed $8 Trillion in 4 years.
  Republicans continue to sell out this country. >

  But not for those who actually need lower taxes. >
  
  Their most recent tax bill cut taxes for pretty much everyone >
  
  Middle class taxpayers got a temporary cut. It's over now. >
  
  Those cuts don’t expire until 2025. Btw, that’s for all individuals, not just the middle class >
  
  But the corporate breaks are permanent. >
  
  Most corporate cuts are temporary. A couple are permanent, but are offset with permanent corporate tax increases. Past 2027, there isn’t a net tax cut anymore >
  
  Source? >
  
  Here’s the cost by provision
  And here’s the expirations
  All corporate cuts except for the domestic rate and AMT expire >
  
  Oh wait... you mean like tax cuts... like every republican ever? >
  
  What a stupid headline. The GQP is always about lower taxes for the wealthy and corporations but now for the vast majority. Their 2017 GOP Tax Scam was touted originally as tax reform. It ended up being yet another upward wealth transfer in a series begun in the early 1980’s.
  This is, of course, from a rag by the rich written for the rich. It’s credo is “I got mine, screw you, losers.” Imagine Bloomberg running for President as a Democrat. He might be socially liberal but he’s as greedy as any fascist/libertarian Republican. >
  
  The 2017 bill was tax reform, and it was pretty solid. It also cut taxes for the majority of people >
  
  It temporarily cut taxes by a very small amount for some people. Those small cuts will be wiped out and taxes increase the next 5 years. Not for those who need it least, their cuts are permanent. Keep drinking the KoolAid. >
  
  That’s not true, like at all. The individual cuts expire in 2025 (unless some are extended, which is very likely). After that, taxes return to 2017 levels. A different inflation metric will mean slightly higher taxes over time, but it would take a very long time to offset the cuts from 2018-2025
  Also, all individual tax cuts were temporary, even for rich people. Most of the corporate cuts were temporary as well >
  
  ... so the same old dumb regressive ideas. >
  
  Bloomberg.com is attempting to wash trump stench off republicans >
  
  Which is why US had $30T in Reaganomics debt.   The Laffer Curve nonsense never worked.
  Clinton raised taxes after Reaganomics, economy boomed and US ran budget surpluses for the first time in decades. >
  
  Wut... Something dreamed up in 1974 over a 3 martini lunch by Rumsfield, Cheney, and Laffer on a cocktail napkin isn't the basis for modern macroeconomics? >
  
  Finish the sentence, f or then rich >
  
  Lower taxes for the rich. Let's not kid ourselves.
