Republicans want to call their bill a working and middle class tax cut, but truth be told, it should be called a massive giveaway to the ultra, ultra wealthy. The lion's share of the benefits go to those at the very top, while inflation and Trump's war has eviscerated any shred of benefit felt by the rest of America. That's not tax relief. That's not tax relief. That's a brazen betrayal of working Americans. If Republicans think that rebranding their toxic bill will make Americans forget the economic pit that Trump and the Republicans push them into, they'll be sorely mistaken. (07:02–07:13)
