They're all sellouts—every one of 'em: Marco Rubio, the candidate who knows the pain of the working man; Donald Trump, the guy who was going to buck the GOP establishment because he's down with the people. The possible exception is Jeb!, who's just doing what's expected: stroking his rich donor base (they're all he's got!). The GOP collectively decided, "Hey, we'll give tax breaks to everyone!" That way, maybe no one will notice how much more the top one percent is really getting. John Harwood
reports:
[Rubio] proposes a significant new tax credit for households with children. But he would also cut the top federal income tax rate to 35 percent, from nearly 40 percent, and eliminate levies on capital gains, dividends and multimillion-dollar estates.
All told, the conservative Tax Foundation estimates that Mr. Rubio’s plan would cut taxes an average of 17.8 percent for all taxpayers — but 27.9 percent for the top 1 percent of earners.
Mr. Rubio’s rivals would also deliver disproportionate gains to the most affluent. [...] The Tax Foundation estimates that Mr. Bush’s plan would raise the after-tax incomes of top earners 16.4 percent, more than any other group. The foundation says the proposal from the real estate magnate Donald J. Trump, who leads Republican polls, would raise incomes of the top 1 percent of earners 27 percent — also the most of any group.
This is nothing more than trickle down with a side of savory treats.
