"It's hard to believe that it has been two years since Republicans in Congress gave out more than $1 trillion in tax cuts to billionaires and corporations, leaving middle class families behind without a second thought."

"We were told the Republican tax scam--which slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%--would be an investment in America's working families. Instead those same corporations announced more than $1 trillion in stock buybacks in 2018 alone. How does that help the middle class?"

"When it's all said & done, in 2027 more than 80% of the benefits from the Republican tax bill will go to the top 1% of earners. And it will add $1.9 trillion to our national deficit. A real work of art from a party of so-called "fiscal conservatives."
