Just as John Kerry was for the invasion of Iran before he was opposed to it, Bernie Sanders(democratic socialist – Vermont) was against the tax cut, from Real Clear Politics, 1 December:
Mr. President, I have not the slightest doubt as I have said before, that after the Republicans pass this huge tax giveaway to the wealthy and large corporations, they will be back on the floor of the Senate. And when they come back, they’ll say, ‘oh, my goodness, the deficit is too high. We have got to cut social security, medicare, medicaid, education, and nutritional programs.’
In other words, in order to give tax breaks to billionaires and to large, profitable corporation, they’re going to cut programs for the elderly, the children, working families of this country, and the poor. This legislation will go down in history as one of the worst, most unfair pieces of legislation ever passed. But I say to my Republican colleagues, as you saw on November 7, the American people are catching on.
Before he was for them, from Hill:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday agreed the tax cuts for the middle class in the GOP tax bill are a “very good thing” — but added they should have been made permanent.
“That’s why we should’ve made the tax breaks for the middle class permanent. But what the Republicans did is made the tax breaks for corporations permanent, the tax breaks for the middle class temporary,” Sanders told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
Boy do the liberal talking points change fast. Prior to tax cut, the ‘rats were calling the tax cut the worst proposed legislation since what the Fugitive Slave Act, of 1850
