Cutting taxes is not the only thing the GOP does. They also go after immigrants, pander to people who abhor abortion, throw out racial code words, back the Saudis and engage in the sexual excess they most condemn, sometimes with interns. This is the only arrow in their economic quiver and it shows we have seemingly limited the argument on taxes to 35% v. 39.6% top rates and give-aways to business. Of course, they don’t even have a bill yet and nothing that is not bipartisan is likely to pass the Senate. The economy is starting to get better. Giving rich people a reason to cut labor costs will simply send it the wrong way. Increasing middle classes is but a bonus, although tax increases for the poor need to take into account an increased standard deduction. Usually that is only proposed if you are looking for a Value Added Tax.
