Can you explain to me why people don’t like the idea of a tax cut?
MULVANEY: Sure. Edu/1212-majority-views-tax-bill-as-adding-financial-injury-potus-favors-wealthy-say-americans/”>a large portion of Republican voters don’t even like this monstrosity of a tax giveaway to the super rich, so it’s not clear how the White House would try to spin that fact. Supposedly, those are Republicans who don’t watch Fox News? Or those are Republicans who watch Fox News but don’t pay close enough attention? Only have it on in the background?
The whole idea – that an administration is trying to pass a transforming piece of tax legislation and the reason nobody likes it is because a couple cable news channels are being mean – is absurd.
Meanwhile, tax bill polling numbers that are piling up are staggering and historic. That’s all the more amazing considering U.S. voters, of course, traditionally like the idea of getting a tax cut.
No major party in recent history has ever tried to pass a piece of legislation so universally despised as the GOP tax bill, let alone present the bill as the cornerstone to the party’s legislative agenda.
