Congress continues to work at passing a tax bill that will massively cut taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals and will strip many provisions that help middle-class Americans. Michele and Igor discuss with Helaine Olen, contributor to the Washington Post’s Plumline blog and author of “Pound Foolish: Exposing the Dark Side of the Personal Finance Industry,” about what’s up for debate in conference this week, who this bill is for (hint: donors), and who it hurts the most (hint: folks who voted for Trump).
