Stephen Moore, a conservative economist who advised President Donald Trump’s campaign on economic and tax policy, said in an interview published Tuesday that the Republican tax overhaul currently under debate by the House is “death to Democrats.”
“They go after state and local taxes, which weakens public employee unions. They go after university endowments, and universities have become play pens of the left,” Moore told Bloomberg. “And getting rid of the mandate is to eventually dismantle Obamacare.”
He argued that the tax overhaul legislation, which would repeal Obamacare’s individual mandate, would accelerate “a death spiral” in its exchanges.
“It’s death to Democrats,” Moore said.
Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, denied to Bloomberg that the tax legislation deliberately targets Democrats.
According to Bloomberg, however, the overhaul would have the strongest negative effect on residents of high-tax states (largely Democratic), universities (largely Democratic) and graduate students (largely Democratic).
Ok, this joker is largely right on this specific topic. But Moore is consistently schooled by real Economists on TV all the time.
Angela Rye rips him good, here.

And then he shit his pants in defiance
It’s official. We are now waging political war via the economy.
Stephen Moore is a soulless hypocrite who will do anything to prevent decent government from helping average Americans.
Like all far-right asshole conservatives, he hates liberals, education, and the ideas on which the nation was founded.
