The Republicans have passed their tax bill, without a single Democratic vote, despite low to dismal poll ratings. It's reminiscent of the passage by Democrats, without a single Republican vote, of Obamacare in March 2010.

Democrats lost 63 seats and their House majority that fall. Republicans hope they won't follow suit. They argue, accurately, that their bill will lower taxes for almost all taxpayers and that it will stimulate economic growth, which already has risen above the growth in the Obama years.

No, Republicans have NOT reformed taxes.  They HAVE made a small, but very important first step.

Probably not a big change (any change?) to the tax laws but still a change of significant impact. And they threw out the insurance mandate.
