Leslie is joined by Morris Pearl, Chair of the Patriotic Millionaires, a group of hundreds of high-net-worth Americans who are committed to making all Americans better off by building a more prosperous, stable, and inclusive nation.

The two discuss a new analysis by The New York Times, which shows that "nearly half of all middle-class families would pay more in taxes in 2026 than they would under current rules if the proposed House tax bill became law, and about one-third would pay more in 2018." The study points out that this is "a striking finding for a bill promoted as a middle-class tax cut."

The two also talk about the Patriotic Millionaires' newly launched 'Taxpayer Action Center,' which they've created with dozens of think tanks and grassroots organizations. You can visit the website at TaxActionCenter.com.

Finally, Leslie and Morris discuss a new ABC News/Washington Post poll showing that the public opposes Trump's tax plan by a 50%-33% margin, with 60% saying it favors the wealthy.
