Rick Wilson: ‘In the History of Trump Scams,’ Only ‘190 People’ Benefited from His 2017 Tax Cuts and He’ll Do it Again
EXCERPT:
WILSON: "In the history of Donald Trump's great scams, the 2017 tax cut benefited about 190 people and high-value institutions in the country: hedge funds, private equity people, et cetera. About 190 people got the majority of that benefit. There was a component to it that was a middle-class tax cut that expired two years later. And he’s going to do the same thing again because he understands where his bread is buttered. He understands that the billionaire class in this country of Republican donors, they care about tax cuts more than they care about life itself. They are not, by the way, wanting these tax cuts because they are such great free marketeers or they believe low taxes benefit the overall economy. It’s just straight up wanting to not pay taxes. That’s one of the things that as an ex-Republican it took a long time to realize. That whole free market thing had nothing to do with the disconnection of taxes and benefits to middle-class voters. It’s a lie."
