Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) said on Wednesday that one of the goals of tax cuts is to supply additional money for the "forgotten man from Bernie [Sanders] to [Donald] Trump."While appearing on MSNBC with host Hallie Jackson,Brat noted that a 15 percent tax rate for corporations his preference, but he said that ultra-conservative Republicans in the Freedom Caucus would also consider supporting a 20 percent tax rate."That's probably our upper threshold, or that's the corporate rate," he explained. "And then we've got to design sure the S Corp, the small business person, and also gets a reduction close to that.""And then the forgotten man,all the way from Bernie all the way over to Trump, we've got to design sure they regain a couple hundred bucks a month back in their pockets, or " he added. "That's the basic deal we want to see."It was unclear whether Brat was referring to people who voted for Sanders and Trump or to the politicians themselves. But both men found support from a disproportionate number of white males. In early 2016 primaries,Sanders beat Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton by 83 percentage points among white men. And white males also voted for Trump over Clinton, 63 to 31 percent.
