GOP tax plan punishes people who work, rewards passive income

I disagree, Republicans don’t just operate on a “Do Evil” philosophy, they do have to figure out how to perform revenue capture and they do want the CBO score to be palatable, and taxes on properties are a low-hanging fruit precisely because they’re fairly politically neutral and they hit up foreign investors who by and large have enjoyed a relatively light tax burden in the US.

I don’t think their actions on healthcare suggest that they seek palatable CBO scores. I don’t think they even care much about how much revenue they collect since they seem to be fine with just putting all the losses into the deficit. I don’t think they operate on a “do evil” philosophy. I think they operate on a “reward our donors and suppress democratic votes” philosophy.
