Rep. Tom Cole knows the GOP tax scheme will hurt working Americans — but his colleagues told him to vote for it anyway. So he did.
There’s not much to like about the GOP tax scheme. The bill, drafted hurriedly and under the cover of darkness, is wildly unpopular among the American people and economists alike, with little to offer other than corporate giveaways and tax cuts for the rich.
But that didn’t stop Republicans like Rep. Tom Cole from voting for it — even though he admitted in a recent interview that “it just seems wrong” that the scam is, quite simply, a massive giveaway to the rich paid for by working class Americans.
Speaking with CNBC, Cole conceded that he’s not much of a “deep economic thinker” and didn’t pay much attention to those fancy tax analyses conducted by non-partisan agencies, almost all of which excoriated the bill for increasing the federal deficit without boosting economic growth.
“He doesn’t know what the models are,” CNBC noted, “but doesn’t worry much about that.”
Instead of turning to things like evidence and numbers, Cole relied on his GOP colleagues to tell him how to vote on the bill, which delivers massive tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans but offers little else for the rest of the population. Cole likes the way his colleagues think, and it was apparently easier to listen to their reassurances than to grapple with all those pesky facts and figures.
“In the end I’m going to trust the people who are philosophically aligned with me,” he told CNBC.

I glanced at a few MSM articles are they are FAKE NEWS!. Removing the Obamacare mandate for example in which White people were forced to pay for non-White insurance is called "cruel, and mean spirited."
Democrat Voters should not take any tax deductions if they don't like Tax Reform

I read the bill today, and hand calculated my taxes for next year compared to this year, president Trump doubled my tax refund. I still pay a shit ton of taxes but its nice to get back twice what I will this year on about the same income.

It is wrong! NaziCon trickle-down bullshit is nothing but lies. That "theory" has never worked. Never! Trump is just kicking the debt can down the road to enrich his already rich friends at the expense of future generations of poor and middle class Americans. On Christmas Day - think about the millions who will also lose their health insurance in order to help pay for Trump's tax cut con job. People will die.
They know this is a shit bill, just as they knew they wouldn't be able to repeal and replace the ACA.
But they exist at the pleasure and mercy of their contributors and their "base".
Just another great example of why we need term limits, publicly-funded elections and a Balanced Budget Amendment.

We want the tax cuts for middle America, we do NOT want to go in to debt to fund the BIG Multi National Corporation's PERMANENT tax cut down to 21% without any real REFORM to what they can deduct....If you guys don't want your tax cut you can send it to me
