Republicans Are Writing A Tax Cut For The Rich On The Senate Floor With A Pen And You Can’t Read It

Here is how crazy things have gotten in the Senate. Republicans are making changes to their tax cuts for the rich bill on the Senate floor in longhand with a pen. Even worse, they still won’t let the American people see the bill.

This is not the way that good legislation gets passed. The tax cut for the rich is equivalent of backroom deal done on the back of a bar napkin. The whole process smells of corruption. Republicans are doing everything they can to get this bill passed, without ever letting you see it.

Senate Republicans are stabbing democracy in the back just to give millionaires and billionaires an unprecedented tax cut.
