GOP Tax Bill Sees Victory In Averting Major Setback
The $1.5 trillion tax overhaul likely to pass Congress next week is framed as a key GOP win by averting a fresh political stumble amid Trump era backlash. Analysts note benefits favor corporations and the wealthy long term, with middle class gains modest and timing tied to 2019 tax filings. Democratic critics label the plan a tax shift to the rich while Republicans push for a White House signing by Christmas, hoping to blunt ObamaCare repeal fallout and bolster 2018 campaign prospects.
