Every single Republican voting, voted NO
The next time you hear Trump or Republicans in Congress claim they are for American workers remember this vote. Their tax plan is one of the biggest bait-and-switches in modern American politics.
UPDATE: Democrats just offered an amendment to ensure corporations use their tax savings to raise employee wages at the same rate they increase executive pay, stock buybacks and dividends to shareholders. Every single Republican voting, voted NO. #GOPTaxPlan

They voted NO. NO, workers can’t be guaranteed a share of the tax cut, NO, corporations will not undertake not to give all the tax cut revenue to people who are already rich, NO, they don’t give a rat’s ass about rising inequality. NO, they don’t care about the country as a whole or its people.
Well, where’s the fun in taking it away only to give it back?
