Ari Velshi (MSNBC) loves talking about tax plans and he is good!

He is going after the tax reform plan and knows the right questions to ask. After the Donald speaks in Indianapolis he will be able to translate what 45 said and explain how much richer the rich will get and the rest of us will get BS. I hope he goes slowly so I will be able to understand it...too complex for me.

Some people don't like her but she's an attack dog on calling out Trump's and the Gop's financial shenanigans.

How?

How is slashing the Corporate Tax Rate from 35% to 20% without explaining changes in deductions and write offs, going to help the Middle Class?

With all that Trump and the Republicans want to do, it will cost $4 TRILLION. What is going to pay for Disaster relief rebuilding, Infrastructure, and Wars?

if you invested in your business and your employees. There was an INCENTIVE to redirect $ towards your employees in the form of raise and perks, rather than paying it out in taxes.

Now, the Rs slash the corporate tax rate, which allows the corporations to pocket the tax cut without having to reinvest a cent in plant or employees to earn the tax cut. It’s a pure giveaway to the corporation upper management, who take that $ and give themselves bonuses.

He is very good. I was very happy when he got picked up by m$snbc.

Rhule, is a different thing. At first I wasn't sure what to make of her. Bizarre. At least at first. And briefly. After about the third time viewing her show, I realized what ever it was I found bizarre is what I actually like about her. And that's a good thing. It wasn't that she was bizarre, it was more like she is normal, which is many times a bizarre thing to see on cable news. I like her.

Velshi and Rhule really are fun to watch.

get away with BS answers or no answers at all. She is tough and holds people accountable. They make a good team since they both really know their stuff.
