Refocusing taxes around working families could be good politics for the GOP.

In a sweaty summer for the stock market, the Dow climbed to a record high in July, after President Donald Trump signaled he would consider a trade deal anew with China and amid optimism that the Federal Reserve would cut rates. It should have been heady, unapologetic times for the Grand Old Party, with numbers that typically signal a winning economy — including record-low unemployment — under a Republican presidency.

Only, Sen. Marco Rubio wasn’t happy. While the New York Stock Exchange was ringing its opening bell on the longest bull market in history, the Florida Republican senator was pulling the fire alarm.
