From the moment Republicans passed their disgusting tax cut package, we had people like House Speaker Paul Ryan and President Trump telling us that we were all about to get raises, and that most of the benefits from these tax cuts would go to American workers.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.
