"A little less than a month ago, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell insisted that "nobody in the middle class is going to get a tax increase." Within days, he had to walk that back a bit, to "You can’t guarantee that absolutely no one sees a tax increase." After passage of his tax bill, his singular legislative achievement as leader, he's now explaining away the fact that it doesn't do much for the middle class because it's "impossible" to write a bill that helps everyone, and that won't hurt someone."
