I don't believe it: Republicans are unfazed that corporate tax cuts poll really badly

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republicans really want to cut the corporate tax rate. It’s the centerpiece of every plan they have released, and they’ve spent weeks floating wildly unpopular ways to pay for it.

There’s just one problem: It’s really unpopular — even among Republican voters.

Sixty percent of registered voters think corporations pay “too little” in taxes, according to a September poll from Morning Consult and Politico, surveying a little under 2,000 Americans. A more recent Morning Consult and Politico survey from October found only 39 percent of Americans think it should be part of the tax plan — with 59 percent of Republican voters supporting it. Another poll from Pew Research Center showed that 53 percent of Republicans think corporate tax rates should either be raised or stay the same.

But confronted with these numbers, House and Senate Republicans seemed unfazed.

“Who cares?” Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) said before I had a chance to say what the polls showed.

1. They care far more about their own money and especially their donors' money

than they do about public opinion. They know their donors' money will keep them getting elected, especially when voter suppression is the law of the land.

2. I Hope They Got Chris Collins' "Who Cares" Comment on Tape

that would make excellent campaign commercial

3. This article only gets one thing wrong

They used a question mark after Chris Collins’ statement.

It should read “Who Cares!” said Rep Chris Collins (R-NY)

He could give 2 Fs what the people want or think. It’s about what his donors and corporate masters demand.

4. Republicans are all about...

the fuck-you money. They'd don't care what anyone thinks as long as they get theirs.

5. They don't work for the people. They work for themselves. nt

6. Republican voters only care about 2 things

They want to screw minorities and anyone having more fun than they have (sex outside of traditional marriage)
