The Economic Policy Institute says if Republicans get their tax overhaul plan it the rich will get big tax cuts while the middle class will get only small crumbs. EPI Budget Analyst Hunter Blair.

[Hunter Blair]: “The bottom line is that it’s clear that this is not a tax plan for the middle class. This does nothing for the middle class. All of the big tax cuts are going to the rich and large corporations.”

EPI says this plan at its core is basically the same as previous GOP tax plans – a bonanza for the rich.  EPI says “The utter fakeness of Republican claims to have sought a “middle-class” tax cut can be seen all over their plan.”
