House Republicans Passed Their Tax Scam Today. Senate vote later. TRUMP TO SIGN IT....Big Travesty

Republican, Mitch McConnell

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Republican-controlled U.S. Congress  voted on Tuesday on the biggest overhaul of the U.S. tax system in more than 30 years, with little standing in the way of the party’s first major legislative triumph under President Donald Trump.

The House of Representatives, which introduced initial tax legislation barely six weeks ago on Nov. 2, passed the bill 227-203 Tuesday afternoon. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said his chamber would vote on Tuesday evening.

With strict party-line votes expected in both chambers, passage appeared all but certain.

The tax bill has a 27% approval rating with the American public. This tax plan will be hung around all Republicans in the 2018 election.
