[DemocratSinceBirth]

The Republican tax plan pending in the U.S. Congress benefits the wealthy the most, 64 percent of American voters say, while 24 percent say the tax plan benefits the middle class and 5 percent say it benefits low-income people, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.

American voters disapprove of the tax plan 53 - 29 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. Republicans approve of the plan 67 - 10 percent, the only party, gender, education, age or racial group listed to approve. White men are divided as 40 percent approve and 42 percent disapprove.

In a separate question, voters say 61 - 34 percent that the tax plan favors the rich at the expense of the middle class.

The plan will increase their taxes, 41 percent of voters say, while 20 percent say the plan will reduce their taxes and 32 percent say the plan will not have much impact on their taxes.

In the wake of the Republican tax plan, American voters say 47 - 39 percent that the Democratic Party can do a better job handling taxes. Voters have been divided on this question in the past.

American voters give President Donald Trump a negative 35 - 58 percent job approval rating, compared to 38 - 55 percent in a November 21 Quinnipiac University poll.

Voters say 56 - 40 percent that Trump is not fit to be president, tying his all-time low score.

1. It's that same damned 40pc. Blindly loyal to the 50s

Lifestyle and values, that felt good to most Americans, as more Americans were white then. They refused to recognize other parts of America, and most of the Trumpsters would prefer to go back, IMO. They see it as more simple, innocent times...Leave It To Beaver, kids playing outside.... They blame the lost innocence, they perceived, on the evil left.

We don't live in the 50s anymore. It pisses them off when I have innocently, without intent to piss them off, but factually, stated that.

2. Top tax rate in 1950 was 84%

I would be more than happy to re-live that part of the high-growth 1950s.

By 1960, it was 91%.
