The Trump administration can't say whether or not it's tax reform will help the middle class.

For once - at least - they're being honest.

As it stands right now, the Trump tax reform is just glorified socialism for the rich.

The details are still fuzzy, but according to an analysis in the New York Times, Donald Trump's tax reform plan is essentially a wealth redistribution plan.

The Times interviewed a number of tax experts and found that Trump's plan

"...amounts to a multitrillion-dollar shift from federal coffers to America's richest families and their heirs."

Republicans have literally one idea (cut taxes for the rich) and it never EVER works.

If we really want to reform the tax code, why don't we just roll back the Reagan tax cuts?
