While the US House and Senate are looking toward final passage of the massive tax cut bill, a majority of Americans are not enthused. Several polls (CBS, HarvardCAPS – Harris, Quinnipiac) show a majority of those surveyed are opposed to the bill, and feel their taxes will go up.

South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds says that is due in large part to the reporting on the bill……

Rounds, a republican, says their tax bill is designed to give a cut to every tax payer……

Rounds says business owners have to feel the tax cut to provide the economic boost needed……

Both the House and Senate are looking for final votes this week, and delivering the bill to the President by the weekend.
