Quote:WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The tax bill is President Donald Trump’s biggest legislative victory this year, but Democratic strategists are already planning how to turn it into his biggest liability.

The emotional trigger they think will work on voters at next year’s midterm elections: arguing the bill is profoundly unfair by giving the lion’s share of benefits to corporations and the rich.

“Be careful what you wish for,” Tom Steyer, a Democratic billionaire, said of Republican leaders in an interview with Reuters on Wednesday. “They wanted this, they should have never have wanted it. Now that they’ve got it, they’re going to wish they didn’t.”

Steyer said he plans to use his money – through his political group NextGen America – to attack the Republican tax overhaul, using social media and online advertising aimed at young voters, a strategy that recently helped elect Democratic candidate Doug Jones in a Senate race in Alabama and Ralph Northam as governor of Virginia.

In November 2018, elections will be held for all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and for 34 seats in the 100-member Senate.

Pollsters believe the midterms could be a rare “wave election,” when one party seizes back control of Congress. It happened for Republicans in 2010 and 1994.

If Democrats are able to pick up two more Senate seats, they will take control of the chamber. And after the wins in Alabama and Virginia, they are even hopeful they could tap into anger over tax cuts for the rich to win control of the House.

Only about 29 percent of voters approve of the tax bill, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in mid December. Slightly more than 52 percent oppose it. In no region of the country did even half of the people polled say they support it.

The Democratic Senate Campaign Committee is already running anti-tax plan ads in several key states including Nevada, Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Dems are seriously threatened. The notion that taxpayers are better off keeping their own money and spending it as they see fit is a slap in the face of the government handout / redistribution of wealth policy that they love running on.

Manchin did such a good job yesterday attacking it. (Where he said he could not support it, but there was some good stuff in there for the middle class)

The average worker is going to see more money in their paycheck beginning in February. The main stream media has been telling the middle class that they are not going to get anything from this bill. Opps!!! If this is their plan they had better rethink their strategy!

but as a money guy......#HELLYEAH!

edit: I was talking about Mnuchin.....lol

I saw the manchin one too.....what a klutz.....my dyslexia kicks in at times when I'm really happy

The Trump Tax cut is more unpopular than the Clinton Tax hike.

The Donald is one hell of a salesman.

Joe Manchin struggles to explain opposition to GOP tax bill

Dems trying to create their version of obamacare to rally against. I don't see how it will work but there are a lot of illogical and irrational people out there so who knows

The attack on the Tax reform is working, at least among people I interact with, because almost everybody I know is complaining about it.

While I personally think it's wise to pay down the national debt before making massive tax breaks, I'm excited to see how much more money will be in my checks this spring.

As Warren Buffett said back in October, if a politician can’t pass a tax cut, he should really consider another line of work.

I'm sure he will trot out a poll where people were asked "do you support the presidents tax bill that gives tax breaks to corporations and millionaires, and raises taxes on 53% of the middle class?"

It won't work. They know it. It's not complicated. When people see more money in their paycheck the dems are fricked. Trump promised to lower taxes. He did it and people will see it.

They are really screwed and they know it.

Id love for one of them to give me a reason to vote for them that doesn't involve taking my money or freedom. One thing. Anything.
