Will Trump Tax Reform Have Bipartisan Support?

That isn't the current tax plan

Oh. What plan are you referring to?

I was referring to the most recent Senate bill, which proposes to eliminate the individual mandate for health insurance. But the thread was started a couple of weeks ago, so I guess I'm late to the party.

Regardless of what the newest bill does to middle-class taxes, I think removing the individual mandate is enough to guarantee Democrats will not vote for it.

Yes, it may have some support from Democrats.

Why would it have support from Democrats?  It will raise taxes on the middle class, transferring it to the mega-rich, which Democrats are opposed to. The latest addition is a repeal of the individual mandate, which no Democrat is going to support.

I do believe that the claim that "Trump's tax plan will raise taxes on the middle class" is false.
I remember seeing something from The Washington Post regarding this.

There is no bipatinship on this issue: conservatives think the government takes too much and liberals think the government takes to much.  No room for compromise there.

Yes, Dems will never vote for freedom, unless it it sexual perversion.

No, the Democrats may not want to be bipartisan. They may also disagree with some things inside the tax reform.
