I proposed a fix to GOP tax bill that would have made middle-class tax relief permanent AND reduced deficit by nearly 1 trillion. 34 Ds voted yes—showing that we were willing to find bipartisan tax reform. But every R opposed because it was never about the middle class for them!
What happened early this morning — voting on the GOP tax bill just mere hours after Senators received the final text — was irresponsible and downright disrespectful to the American people. What was in the bill was even worse. I voted NO.
In my long career in politics, I have not seen a more regressive piece of legislation, so devoid of a rationale, so ill-suited for the condition of the country, so removed from the reality of what the American people need.
The Republican Party is the enemy of the American people. The Senate just passed the Trump Tax Increase, 1:50am, enriching the 1% & concentrating wealth in the hands of the few. Capitalism & Fascism. The coup is underway. Make no mistake about it. EVERYONE OFF THE BENCH! 11/6/18!
The @SenateGOP just voted against protecting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security from future cuts. Make no mistake: they’re on the chopping block next in the GOP Congress. #GOPTaxScam
If the Trump #TaxReform bill is passed, the next step for the GOP would be to cut Government spending to reduce the increase debt. I'm being told they plan to do this by reducing Social Security and Medicare benefits. This would be disastrous for those who are 65 and older. RT!
I just tried to enter this page into the record so the American people know the kind of stunts @SenateGOP is pulling to pass their tax scam. But they wouldn’t take it. Why? Because NOBODY can read it. #Page257 https://t.co/AFw6bza3fd
Dear Republicans-
Everyone who votes for this bill will forever be known as a traitor to this country. And forever be known as a person who voted for 13 million Americans to lose their health care.
Most corrupt bill that’s ever existed in Congress. Bunch of criminals.
America
.@realDonaldTrump-You ordered Michael Flynn to contact the Russians. You need to resign immediately. You’re the biggest traitor in the history of this country. I hope you get prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law & spend the rest of your life in prison. #TrumpResign#Resist
This tax bill has had very low public support, but that'll surely change once people find out that while their local taxes to support their kids' public schools are no longer fully deductible, wealthy families can now get huge tax breaks for private school tuition.
Good news everyone. I’m getting a tax break on my private jet. Too bad my kids’ teacher won’t be able to deduct their school supplies but at least I got mine.
