Today in Tax Reform

It's amazing to watch the mainstream media desperately trying to undermine the passage of the GOP tax package.  The House passed its version of the tax reform bill by a rather large margin just two days ago.  So what are the headlines of yesterday and today on tax reform?  There are reports of the passage in the House, but the mantra of the media is that despite that passage, the chances for final approval of a tax bill are declining or even collapsing.  Really?  Nothing much has changed in a negative direction for the bill's prospects.  The Democrats who oppose the bill for political reasons are still in opposition.  The Republicans who support tax reform are still supporting it.  Sure, there are ongoing discussions about what ought to be in the Senate bill, but nothing is undermining passage.  Even Ron Johnson, the lone GOP senator to announce he is a "no" vote has made clear that with some changes in the bill, he could become a yes.

Why is the media so hell bent on undermining passage?  The answer is simple.  If the bill passes, it will be a victory for the Trump agenda, and they can't stomach any success for Trump.  Of course, tax reform will also be a huge victory for the USA and the American people, but for the mainstream media and the Democrats that's not enough to outweigh their hatred for Trump and the Republicans.
