Going from raising taxes on people like himself to claiming its going after the middle class is #neverTrump disingenuous agitprop. When you have to ADD to it spin it and massage it its not going to fly.
Everyone knows that business do not "pay" taxes, they "collect" taxes.
The higher the tax, the higher the cost of the products they sell, and the less likely it is they expand and hire more people, buy new equipment, etc.
Taxing the big corporation at a high rate will never work out.
It never has and it never will.
while not directly raising taxes on the middle class, it has the same effect, because they have to pay more for the goods and services they buy from the "rich".
Guys, this is basic conservative/ Milton Freidman economics.
