PODCAST: Get Smart on the Tax Debate

https://www.politico.com/story/2017/11/22/get-smart-on-the-tax-debate-258061

In this week’s POLITICO Money podcast, we go deep into the big tax debate with an all-star reporter roundtable featuring POLITICO’s Nancy Cook, Seung Min Kim and Brian Faler. We unpack the GOP effort from every angle so you can sound smart when your Thanksgiving conversation invariably turns to marginal tax rates and corporate hiring behavior.
Among the issues we explore: Why are Republicans doing this now when the economy seems to be doing fine? Will it really light a fire under growth and drive up wages? Can the GOP cross the finish line and get a bill to President Donald Trump’s desk? And if they do, will they live to regret it given polls show most Americans don’t like what Republicans are doing? We also look at whether Democrats will remain united in opposition.
And we try to explain, as best as anyone can right now, who is getting a tax cut and who is getting and tax hike and why.
