Twitchy already checked in with ABC News chief political analyst Matthew Dowd regarding the passage of the GOP’s tax reform bill. In short, Dowd, like Chelsea Handler, called into question the “Christian values” of anyone who voted in favor of the tax plan. Actor and comic Billy Eichner tried to make a point by sarcastically thanking working-class Trump voters for buying him a new swimming pool, but of course, that’s what Eichner imagines “the rich” will be doing with any tax savings. Then again, he could always donate to charity.

Dowd seems to think he’s getting back at Senate Republicans and their supporters, though, by “threatening” to donate any tax savings to charity.

Any tax savings that i might get from this unfair and mean spirited gop tax bill i will donate to charities to help the poor and vulnerable. Who is with me?

Spending your money as you chose-what a concept.

Wow, having americans pool their money to help the common good. What a concept. That is the point of government einstein.

The point of government is forced charity? Who knew?

Huh??? Should government pay for infrastructure, should government provide a safety net of any kind, etc. what about the common good?

— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) December 2, 2017

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js WHAT ABOUT THE COMMON GOOD? Well, most recently, we’ve seen evidence that “the common good” according to the U.S. government includes paying off accusers so they don’t file sexual harassment lawsuits.

And notice how Dowd says he’s donating to charities … and not continuing to pay taxes at a higher rate? If he’s such a believer in government, why isn’t he promising to write a larger check to the IRS instead of fooling around with charities? Who knows better about the common good that government?

Why not donate all of your tax savings back to the Treasury? https://t.co/bhMUP8BMiU

Or you can voluntarily send it to the IRS. Why give to a charity now? You seemed to be perfectly happy with how the federal govt spends your tax dollars…. https://t.co/cRH4ZkQ9tF

You mean, you’ll have more of your *own* money to direct to the charities of *your* choice? That’s crazy talk, Matt!https://t.co/ekyv6CThSM

Congratulations. This is LITERALLY the point that Conservatives make. That OUR money in OUR hands does more good than in the governments. https://t.co/vytpDcQnyS

Personal charity to take care of the poor… what a novel idea. Almost sounds… conservative. https://t.co/qLvJsizTrw

Alternate take: I am going to take the money that I rightfully earned and that government has now decreed that I am allowed to keep more of to spend it on something that I feel would benefit others. How novel a concept. https://t.co/nCyS1l520B

Wait … think about what you’re saying. Those “mean and nasty” Republicans are giving you the means to directly help the poor and vulnerable by getting government out of the way. Tell me again how this bill is terrible? 🤨🤔 https://t.co/RkQGGeYcHm

So you’re going to donate the savings to charity, take the charitable deduction and further reduce your taxable income? Sounds like a double tax cut to me! You are one smart man. https://t.co/DYYODj4SDL
