Jon Miller, White House Correspondent for CRTV, discusses the GOP tax bill, which could be voted on as early as Tuesday. The Republican Party secured the number of votes needed to pass the bill on Friday, when Senators Marco Rubio and Bob Corker jumped on board.
Miller notes his surprise with Corker deciding to vote for the bill, given how bothered he was originally by the $1.4 trillion it would add to the deficit. We discuss how unfavorable the bill is polling with the American people. Miller adds that much of that is because he does not think the media is doing a good job of being honest about the bill. In addition to that, 45% of Americans don't actually pay taxes. Millers talks the overall good the bill will do for the economy and business-owners.
