Durbin Statement On Republican Tax Plan
U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) ^ | 11/2/2017 | U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL)

WASHINGTON—U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) released the following statement on the tax plan released this morning by House Republicans: 

This plan gives massive tax cuts to corporations and the wealthiest individuals while middle class families are left behind. It is based on the mistaken belief that cutting taxes for the wealthiest will benefit everybody else—an assumption that has been proven false each and every time it’s been tested. Eliminating state and local tax deductions will hit Illinois hard—resulting in double taxation for a third of the families in our state.

He’s lying. It appears to be that it will benefit everyone BUT the super-duper wealthy.

Note To Self: Don’t be super-duper wealthy! You’ll pay for everything and get nothing in return but scorn and ridicule from the Socialist Democrat Party. Hang out with the 50% of the population who are LOSERS and don’t pay ANYTHING in income, state and federal taxes to begin with.

That’s the standard bovine scat rat response, like no one could have predicted it.

All these high tax states are bitching because the new tax plan exposes, well, all these high tax states.
