GOP Tax Plan a One-Sided, Partisan Scam Benefiting the Wealthy, DeGette Says

Washington, DC – Congresswoman Diana DeGette (D-CO), Chief Deputy Whip, said the Republican tax plan unveiled this morning is a one-sided partisan effort that does little for the middle class while rewarding the wealthy.

"The Ryan-McConnell plan will slash the corporate tax rate and taxes for the one percent," DeGette said. "Rather than trying to ram through this one-sided scam, a behemoth of more than 400 pages written behind closed doors that is reportedly being rushed to a vote before Thanksgiving, Republicans should work in good faith with Democrats on real and meaningful tax reform."
