Republicans flip script on Obama with populist attacks on healthcare, taxes

The Republican Party has flipped the script on Democrats by waging a populist assault against President Obama’s recent moves on healthcare and tax reform. Democrats have long portrayed themselves as the defenders of average citizens in their bids for higher taxes on Wall Street and big business. But GOP lawmakers now say they are the ones defending the “little guy” against an Obama administration beholden to corporate interests.
