Guess Who Benefits From Republican Tax Cuts?

Much like with abortion - which they care deeply about, until their mistress needs one - Republicans deeply care about the deficit - until one of their own sits in the White House. Trump is a mainstream American conservative in that regard at least, because these policies would have been enacted under any other GOP candidate as well. It's one of the main reasons why an overwhelming number of conservatives continue to support him. They do love their tax cuts.
