I just had a news alert here from the Wall Street Journal: &#8220;Republican Tax Plan to Allow for Top Individual Rate Above 35%.&#8221; Right now, it\u2019s 39.6%, and when my buddy learned that it might be lowered to 35%, he was&#8230; Ah, he was okay, but it was not what he was expecting. It\u2019s not what he thought Trump was gonna do. Now when he finds this out, it\u2019s not gonna be pretty. I\u2019m gonna hear about it. &#8220;Republican Tax&#8230;&#8221; I haven\u2019t had anything to do with it, but I\u2019m gonna hear about it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/gop-tax-plan-to-allow-for-top-individual-rate-above-35-1506447082\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-231235\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushTaxesShort-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"313\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushTaxesShort-1.jpg 313w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushTaxesShort-1-300x245.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/>Wall Street Journal news alert<\/a>: &#8220;The Republican tax plan being released [tomorrow] will open the door to a top individual tax rate that is higher than the 35% that has been in previous plans, according to two people familiar with the discussions.&#8221; I need to remind all of you in the 39.6% bracket that this is what populism is. The vast majority of people aren\u2019t anywhere near that 39.6% rate. It\u2019s more than you think, but not a majority. &#8220;Tax cuts for the rich&#8221; are not populism. They are conservatism, but they are not populism.<\/p>\n<p>In populism, you fire your shotgun and try to hit the majority of people no matter where they are, no matter what they think. The root of the word is &#8220;popular,&#8221; and if a majority of people want a wall, you say you\u2019re for a wall if you\u2019re a populist, whether you\u2019re a conservative or a liberal. That\u2019s what populists do. So populism is for cutting everybody else\u2019s taxes, but the rich have got to &#8220;pay their fair share.&#8221; Now, obviously, that\u2019s a liberal view. It\u2019s a liberal way of looking at things, but it also happens to be the populist way, supposedly.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, given the mind-set of the American people now. I\u2019m gonna find out more about this as the week unfolds. This is just an example. The Republican Party, they just could be doing so much. They could be scoring so well. They could be just running the table. They could be setting themselves up for power for a generation, and they are not doing it. And it\u2019s just sitting there! It\u2019s just sitting right in front of them. All they have to do is grab it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH:  I need to remind all of you in the 39.6% bracket that this is what populism is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":248523,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Report: GOP to Propose &quot;Populist&quot;
