McConnell: ‘Impossible’ to promise every member of middle class gets a tax cut

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Sunday that “it’s impossible” to promise that the GOP’s tax overhaul will lower the taxes of every person in the middle class.

“Well, it’s impossible to do that,” McConnell told ABC News’s “This Week.”

McConnell’s interview comes after the Senate early Saturday passed its tax-reform bill, which includes the repeal of ObamaCare’s individual mandate.

“Every segment of taxpayers, every category of taxpayers, on average, gets significant relief,” McConnell said of the bill on Sunday.
