Robert Reich on GOP Tax Plan: ‘We Are Creating a Dynastic Class in America’

‘It’s just a big pay back for the major donors’

RUSH EXCERPT:
REICH: "Well, they will. But remember, this entire escapade, this entire tax cut, is payback for the Republican donor class. This is what it’s all about. Republicans are not really looking at the polls right now. They are very aware of the fact that the donor class — I’m talking about, you know, the mercers and the rickettes and the Koch brothers and all of the people who have invested so much in the GOP. What they want is, they look at this as any other kind of development. They want to return on that investment, and the return on the investment was going to be a huge tax cut. The stock market has been going up in anticipation of a corporate tax cut. It has nothing to do with the real economy. It has nothing to do with what’s happening to average people. It’s just a big pay back for the major donors."
