I saw Angus King(Maine Independent) on TV earlier talking about how they all got the bill on their desks at 6pm and when they asked to read the 450 something page bill before voting on it they couldn't. He said the republicans blocked every attempt at an effort to allow them to read the bill and they voted on it at 3am.

Then he went on to say that there's no telling what bad stuff is on the bill right now and that the House will probably pass the Senate version to get it over with. Then he said that any good thing that happens next year including the Super Bowl having amazing weather will be attributed to the bill and Trump.

Couldn't they, just refuse or default to "no" with the reason: We didn't have time to read it because the bill was handed over 3 minutes ago?

The Senate has to have a majority agreement to stop and reconvene at a later time. Schumer asked to let them meet again Monday so they all can read and understand the bill and it was shot down. So they couldn't.

And the bill passed with 51 Republicans voting yes. So it didn't matter anyway if they got to read it or not which was their plan. Having only 2 parties and allowing 1 to be in full control of the government is dangerous. But people don't care.

Since the 1980's, when Regan popularized the idea of trickle down economics, there have been numerous careful studies (International Monentary Fund, the Roosevelt Institute, the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, etc.) that have come to the same conclusion.

Are we really going to disregard all that?

even if the tax "cut" does reduce taxes in the middle class, costs across the board will be going up. you may get VERY SLIGHTLY less in taxes, but you'll pay much more everywhere else.

the only people this tax plan helps is the 1%

Pretty sure that the bill both reduces the tax burden of the middle class and helps to reduce the deficit.
