Note that the 2017 tax bill is actually a tax increase for the middle class, though a few will get some cuts for the first 8 years. After that the lower rates and the doubled standard deduction go away. (The cuts for corporations are permanent.) The deductions that were limited or eliminated stay that way; that's already raised taxes for some in the middle class. And the new inflation adjustment index they chose will move people into higher brackets more quickly.
Collins voted to support a filibuster. Let's be very clear : Historically, a filibuster was a relatively rare event where for moral reasons somebody threw a monkey wrench into the wheels of democracy to say something important.Collins is now supporting filibusters for pure partisan fuckery.

Some tax cut.
Bless her heart.
If only we could have learned from the spirit of bi-partnership and brotherhood on display over the 20 years from the Republicans in the Senate.
You mean the $2,000 checks the previous president (and every Democrat) wanted that the Republicans turned into $600?

More or less the population of CA, The most populace state in the union ...
She didn't say "rammed it down our throats"? What kind of Republican is she?

She looks like every stern teacher you ever had in middle school. It’s the hair-so last century.
Like every Republican who said “for shame!” while clutching sometimes metaphorical pearls, and then voted to acquit Trump. Twice.
