Who is the tax bill good for? Not your average Joe, the left says
As the vote on the tax bill nears, Americans should know about the bill of goods they are about to be sold. A roundup of editorials Tuesday takes a look at the effects the tax bill will have on the middle class.
Opinions from the left:
1. The Republican tax bill Is an American betrayal
From Vox: What is worse than Americans being bamboozled by their president on tax reform? Watching President Trump’s loyal supporters being taken along for the ride.
I’m surprised anyone can call this a tax reform bill with a straight face. This is nothing more than a huge tax cut for big corporations and the rich, paid for by the middle class. https://t.co/vRMKOEhURm

From The Washington Post: The tax reform bill was written by lobbyists then kept from the light of day. If it is so great, why not give anyone who wants to the time to read the thing?

3. Goodie for Trump oozes out of tax-reform fog
From Bloomberg: Raise your hand if you are a real-estate investor with few employees. Guess what? You get a tax break.
