Hatch Says New Tax Cut 'Highly Unlikely'

October 25, 2018 at 8:59 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) told Roll Call the Senate is “highly unlikely” to pass a 10 percent tax cut for the middle class even after the midterm elections.

Said Hatch: “I’ve seen miracles happen before.”

But he added that it would take “a real monumental effort” to get anything like Trump has proposed to rally Republicans to the polls for the Nov. 6 midterms through the Senate.

"Yeah, we know he's talking out of his ass again. There's no way in hell our corporate overlords would let us pass a 10% tax cut for the middle class, nor would we want to. That would further blow up the deficit & we need to gut Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid before we pretend to give a tax cut to the little people, but really funnel them to our bosses on Wall Street."
