Conservative army bolsters Trump on tax cuts

Conservative groups are going all out to help President Trump and congressional Republicans get a tax-reform bill across the finish line.

Unlike with health care, outside right-leaning groups are united in their support of the GOP tax plan. They believe that unity will help reassure Republican lawmakers when they eventually cast votes on a bill.

“Buy-in from free-market groups and conservative groups is extremely important,” said Jason Pye, vice president of legislative affairs for FreedomWorks.

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) urged conservatives on Thursday to push back against criticisms of the tax plan from liberals and lobbyists.
“An army of lobbyists will come to protect the special interest provisions and to derail tax reform,” he said at an event at the Heritage Foundation. “And when that army comes, we must be able to count on the foot soldiers of the conservative movement to see this thing through.”

Like the alleged HCA reform, this is nothing but a major tax cut for the wealthy. Calling it Tax Reform is like calling Trump smart. Neither are true.
