Tweet - "@BankofAmerica's decision to increase the size of their stock buyback by $5 billion is yet another signal that the #GOPTaxScam is going to line the pockets of wealthy investors, rather than raising wages for workers."

Sen. Chuck Schumer

|
Sen. Chuck Schumer
|
| Nov. 30, 2017

|
Sen. Chuck Schumer
|
| Nov. 30, 2017
|
Tweet - "The #GOPTaxBill will balloon the deficit by at least $1.5 TRILLION: adding to the debt burden borne by the next generation and diminishing our ability to support the military and invest in our schools, our roads, and in scientific research."

|
Sen. Chuck Schumer
