Monster that was created. The republican creed dough can be summed up this way. Help the rich, hurt the middle class. So ironically senator Bernie Sanders fought back in odd way, taking if out on a small school that helps poor families send kids to college in Mitch Mcconnells home state. Heres what happened. In the bill there was a tax hike on wealthy universities like harvard, sanford, and yale. They would all now have to pay taxes on the gains from enormous endowment. Harvard is 35 billion for example. Stanford is 2 billion. But the law swept in little Berea College in kentucky as well. Endowment 1. 2 billion. Berea is one of seven work schools in the state, tuition is free. But the students work on campus during their four years. The College President says they were a casualty of the bill. And that will be tough on students. Mitch mcconnell tried in desperation to turn it around. He was not successful in doing that. Bernie sanders said no way. Majority leader mcconnell joins me now.
