The words government benefits resonate better with the voters than tax cuts.
Benefits is something you do not need to work for. To receive tax cuts you need to work for it.
Those receiving government benefits do not pay for the tax cuts.
Those that pay taxes pay for those government benefits.

Republicans have united around opposition to these programs, but have yet to figure out what they stand for instead, which amounts to a defense of the status quo."

The repubs ran this tax plan down the throats of middle AMERICANS UNDER FALSE PRETENSES. It was a 100% repub plan for the rich and they own it.

Well duh, everything they touch turns to s**t. And that we have to turn around and clean their mess up.
