Why the Left hates Tax Plan...

Almost every policy issue can be spun from the Left or Right, except this one. Each and every taxpayer will be able to determine how the tax plan affects them. And this scares the Left, especially the MSM, who loves to tell us how to live our lives.
The Tax Plan will succeed or fail on its own merit. MAGA.

They fear the economic growth. The fear that people will have more money in their pockets, that government revenue will increase, that unemployment will drop, and investments will boom, and that when people see this they will care more about that than virtue signaling and identity politics

The Democrats in Congress are opposed to this tax cut solely because it is a winning policy for Trump and the right and will further hurt their chances for the midterm elections.
Of course they keep lying about it raising taxes on the middle class and giving the rich a tax break and increasing the national debt. Does anyone remember them being concerned about the debt while Obama was doubling it?
And the left's useful idiots drink their kool-aid like good little sheep and parrot their lies.

They don't like the tax plan because Dems enjoy handing out other peoples money.

Maybe because that are trying to rush it through without hearing from economists or any other experts..
Maybe bc they are tacking on random bills that have nothing to do with taxes like
Drilling in ANWR ( arctic national wildlife refuge)
Repeal of Obama’s care individual mandate
Separating of church and state to allow church to contribute to campaign funds
Defining what a fetus is to effect pro-choice rights .
More than being a glued to together tax cut for those that make over a million dollars a year, that will add 1.5 billion to the nation deficit, it’s just a catch all bill for all the little bullshite they couldn’t get done today.

I'm not a fan of including this in this bill personally.

Isn't this a tax?

Those articles are from November.
The first two points in your first link aren't in the final bill that is being voted on this week.
So I don't know if the third point about churches is still current either.

You think this is the first tax cut in history?? They have never payed for themselves. They always create a decifit. I’m addition to the war terrorism. Bush’s massive deficit was caused two tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. They don’t pay for them selves and they always increase he nation deficit . This time by 1.5 trillion dollars.

Several of Thur thingsnyou arw whining about aren't in the bill. Obamacare is a tax. Repealing via a tax bill is completely appropriate. You have allowed yourself to get fooled and are scared because you are ignorant.

Tax cuts don't add to the debt, spending does.

Democrats will be pushed to extend the middle class tax cut in their first year in office after Trump in 2025.

Tax cuts create a hole in the governments income. Less money coming in = less money in the federal reserve
Posted on 12/17/17 at 12:02 pm to Bison
revenues as a percent of GDP are pretty consistent. Spending is the issue. Are you intentionally ignorant on this stuff?
