-Trump had to make a political decision to positively impact 86% of US workers. You're arguing he should've made it for 100% ... which has this immediate consequence: the Democrats now claim Trump is only helping, and disproportionately helping his fatcat buddies (because rich people always benefit more, ya know).
-So: In reality, now we turn a political move that easily has at least 50%+ support, and make it something that probably has "less than 50% support". Is that going to hold up, or lead to any benefits to anybody? Really probably not.
-Nope. If that's the political game we have to play (and it's not our choice), then I would much rather have the overwhelmingly positive spin, get the rust off the payroll tax legislative gears, and work towards Trump's speeches goal: to get rid of the payroll tax. Sounds awesome.
Ok - is there a presumption that I / we don't?
