Hell Freezes Over :Bernie Sanders Admits That GOP’s Tax Cuts are a Boon for America’s Middle Class

Jake Tapper on CNN: [N]ext year, 91% of middle-income Americans will receive a tax cut. Isn’t that a good thing?
Bernie Sanders: Yes, it is a very good thing. And that’s why we should have made the tax breaks for the middle class permanent.(h/t WSJ)

We will if Ds will vote yes.

To see how hypocrites these Democrats really are, if only 8 DEMs had supported GOP’s tax bill in the Senate, the tax cuts for the American taxpayer would have been made permanent, not capped at 10 years as per Senate’s rules. The thing is, if a bill affecting the Federal budget is passed with a simple majority in the Senate, timelines are automatically set to the respective measures. If the tax bill had passed the Senate with 60 votes, the timeline-clause to the tax cuts bill would have been waived and tax cuts would have been permanent. 

For the sake of argument, let’s assume that Bernie is right about corporate taxes. Does anyone think Bernie would have had the balls it takes to get such a plan passed, given that he didn’t have the balls to stand up for himself against Hillary who stole the primary from him?

Hey Bernie fans, it’s not enough to talk about it, you gotta be able to get it done, i.e. to DELIVER!
Plus, he’s wrong about corporate taxes. You keep them high and it only encourages offshoring, outsourcing, etc. In fact, if we we really wanted to smack the crap out of China and the European Union, we would’ve made the corporate tax next to zero. Then, you’d have companies from all over the world fighting each other to come in and we’d have so many jobs you could quit one and walk into another one in 10 minutes flat. But then we wouldn’t need the welfare state to be so big, so we can’t do that, right?
