Democrats Back Down From Attempts to Reverse Trump Legacy Legislation  SEPTEMBER 15, 2020

Democrats have decided to back away from a push to reverse President Trump’s tax cuts. The legislation is something that will be viewed as a legacy moment for President Trump.

According to
The Hill:

Democrats are backing away from vows to reverse President Trumps tax cuts if they take control of the Senate and White House.
Senate Democrats had suggested they could move quickly on the issue, but now say they are likely to delay stand-alone tax legislation if Democratic nominee Joe Biden is elected president and their party controls the House and Senate.

Instead, the priority will be on spending to create jobs and raise wages, investments in green technology and infrastructure and a national plan to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

Sen.
Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), a member of the Senate Finace Committee and one of Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) closest allies, said she has “no idea” when Democrats would move a tax package next year if they win control of the White House and the Senate.

It seems like that decided to back away because the polling numbers on the issue look unfavorable to them.

Bullshit. They may have stopped talking about rescinding Trump's tax plan but I guarantee they still plan to and to raise taxes astronomically.

Pushback telling them they'rs crazy may shut their mouths, But it Won't make them less crazy. Put them in power, watch taxes explode and freedoms implode.
