Good economic vibes fail to make GOP tax law popular

Americans are feeling upbeat about the economy and the state of the country, but that doesn’t appear to be translating into support for the tax bill — a worrying trend for Republicans seeking to keep the House.

GOP lawmakers and outside conservatives acknowledged the gap and give a variety of explanations.

They say taxpayers may not yet be seeing benefits from the law and that President Trump and congressional Republicans could spend more time messaging on the issue.

“We should be talking about it every day,” said Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), a member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.

Let's start talking about the monetary benefits of a modest tax cut for working folks while gas prices hit $3 per gallon.

Great timing Mikey
