A roundup of editorials Thursday looks at President Donald Trump’s tax proposal and who It benefits, the seriousness of the GOP when it comes to governing and why the plan looks like a giveaway to the rich.

Opinions from the Left:

1. Trump's new tax plan shows how unserious Republicans are about governing
From the Washington Post: The GOP needs to be honest with Americans because tax cuts do not pay for themselves.

2. Trump tax plan puts ultra-rich before the middle class
From the Chicago Sun-Times: The Republican tax plan, pure and simple, is a giveaway to the rich and their heirs.

3. Trump's tax plan: Do we really love our children so little? 
From the San Francisco Chronicle: Trump's tax plan saddles our children, their children and their children with debt.
