Polling shows that Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy are being soundly rejected who see through the plan as nothing more than a scam to give rich people more money.
The Quinnipiac Poll shows that the tax cuts are disapproved by every age group and demographic:
The numbers are brutal. There is no support outside of the Republican Party for this plan. No one is being fooled by their promise of a tax cut for the middle-class.

The Politico/Morning Consult poll shows that most Americans believe that the GOP plan will benefit people like Donald Trump, not themselves:
The Republican tax plan is facing the same fate as their Obamacare repeal. The Republican Party is completely out of step with the majority of the country. Voters see through the lies. They understand that Trump, Ryan, and McConnell have shown no interest in their economic well being in the past, and they aren’t about to start to do so now. Whoever came up with the idea of selling the tax cut for the rich as a middle-class plan should be fired.
Republicans have set themselves up for a massive defeat. The tax cuts for the rich scam is crashing and burning, but it will be up to the American people to put the final nail in the coffin of another terrible Republican idea.
