Scarborough On Tax Bill: It's A Question Of Fairness For Americans
The Morning Joe crew discussed the implications of the Republican tax bill, pointing out it is nothing like what Trump promised voters.
"That's actually a great reminder of what this president and Steve Bannon promised American voters in the fall of 2016: that the world is run by multinational corporations, that hedge funders and Goldman Sachs and all of these huge corporatists across the globe dominate your life," Joe Scarborough said.
"They passed a tax bill that's being celebrated by the largest multinational corporation on the planet. It's being celebrated by hedge fund managers and being celebrated by billionaires that want to pass on as much of their money to the billionaires-in-waiting that are their children. This is -- this is the biggest corporation pro-hedge fund manager tax cut that's ever happened. Ronald Reagan's was an across-the-board middle class tax cut. How do they square that when they go home?"
"Two days ago, we had Kevin Brady on the show and we had a little debate on that. It wasn't picking on him about carried interest," Willie Geist said.
