Republicans: Let's Keep the Lower Groups Down, Particularly Children

In The New York Times, in discussing the GOP tax bill: "This time around, much more clearly than before, the goal seems to be to favor wealth, especially inherited wealth, over work. And buried in the legislation are multiple measures that would make it much harder for the children of the middle and working classes to work their way up."

"It selectively raises taxes on families with children. In fact, half — half! — of families with children will see a tax hike once the bill is fully phased in...systematic attempt to lavish benefits on the children of the ultra-wealthy while making it harder for less fortunate young people to achieve upward social mobility."
