DDay seems to be

DDay seems to be hallucinating fantasies about some other reality. Projecting a Clintonite majority because of a tax bill is a bit premature and wishful thinking. Free college is a big idea but it's also a big lie, someone has to pay for free education and afflunt Clintonites should know that someone includes them. The single-payer/UHC frenzy seems to have passes when again the reality of who would have to pay for that fantasy sunk in. Affluent Clintonites can do the simple math that shows they will have to pay directly a lot of money for lower quality coverage when they now recieve high quality coverage free or heavily subsidized by their employer. Even Jerry Brown the california commie rejected his state's plan so his legacy and state would survive.

The Republican Tax Plan Is a Gift to the Next Democratic Majority

The bill will become a powerful tool for Democrats to enact big ideas like free college and universal health care.

Seems to prove these corporations weren't under current law paying even a 20% tax rate after deductions. They want the low rate and the deductions to take it closer to 0% tax.
