When in about maybe ten or fifteen years an honest history of the Republican Party gets written and published, the proximate cause of its demise will be established as the self-administered gut wound known as the GOP Tax Scam.
The Kochs have already rushed TV ads out that feature little white girls “thanking” Trump for the Tax Scam and a host of other horrors (if real) or things he had nothing to do with (if good). Guess what? They can crank out ads like that non-stop and run them on TV non-stop, and it’s not going to save their congressional errand boys and girls from the coming rage of the screwed professionals:
Unbelievable. My wife & I just got off a call with our accountant & we are in a same boat. There is going to be an explosion across America when people start realizing that all of us 99 percenters are being raided by Trump & GOP to fatten themselves & the rest of the 1% even MORE https://t.co/AgUWz3FNEk

The tweet to which Eisen refers is the start of a thread that makes very interesting reading:
THREAD: I’m a small-business owner. A job creator. Met with my CPA; learned that @SenateGOP @HouseGOP #TaxScamBill #TaxScam will result in a massive net tax increase to my business & me, constraining employee wages, benefits, & our ability to hire. @GOP will pay at ballot box.

2/ Talk to your accountant. If you run a small business or are an upper-middle-class professional, you are about to get hammered thanks to the @GOP, @SenBobCorker, @SenatorCollins, etc. You may think you’re rich in their eyesâÂÂstatistically you’re right. But no.

3/ The @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @GOP is taking money from youâÂÂYOU, the real job creatorsâÂÂand giving $1.5 trillion to massive C-corporations. Country club Republican doctors, lawyers, accountants, small-business people who needed relief to expand? It’s your pocket being picked.

4/ It’s your bank accounts (business and personal) the @GOP is raiding. You will now find your cash flow choked and your lifestyle diminished. It’s almost here.
Remember who did this to you. It’s not the @TheDemocrats.
Go run the numbers. You’ll see I’m right. #TaxScam

5/ The @GOP lies about science. But the cold, hard reality of @IRSnews arithmetic and your tax bills is not subject to spin.
Regardless of whether you believe in trickle-down economicsâÂÂand you shouldn’t given 36 years of evidenceâÂÂthis #TaxScam attacks the job creators.

6/ By the way, I met with my accountant on Sunday. Because we both work 24/7 and had no other mutual time. That’s what it means to be an American entrepreneur. And the @SenateGOP @HouseGOP with this #TaxScamBill2017 #TaxScam #TaxScamBill is crushing entrepreneurship.
— (((Subodh Chandra))) (@SubodhChandra) December 19, 2017
7/ Why do you think @SenateGOP @HouseGOP are rushing #TaxScamBill #TaxScam #TaxCutsandJobsAct #TaxReformBill with no hearings or meaningful #taxdebate? Because they are too afraid entrepreneurs and job creators will catch on to the harm it will inflict on our businesses.

8/ Oh, and big corps who think they’ll benefit? Well, @Apple, we’ll be slowing our computer purchasing. @thomsonreuters less marketing ð°, etc. Middle-class, small-business entrepreneurs are the economy’s backbone. We are going to have far less to spend because of #TaxScam.

And as a coda:
CPA’s biggest clientele is @GOP doctors. He says they are going to freak out when they find out. #TaxScam #TaxScamBill

Go ahead, Kochs. Run $20 million in ads. Hell, run $200 million. It won’t do you a bit of good.
