You misstate the case when you suggest FLL and other Democrats are hypocritical on this. (So blatantly, I'm surprised he didn't call you on it the first time.)
While it's true that many Democrats at all income levels often support higher taxes on the rich, those tax proposals are generally to fund lower taxes for the poor, expanded social programs, or long-term investments.
This tax bill does not do those things. Instead it sends the extra money in question to other rich people and corporations, while creating a huge hole in the national debt.
Actually, if there's any hypocrisy around this bill, it's the Republicans' abandonment of conservative principles on the national debt.
