Sherrod Brown: Trump Either Works with Us on Tax Cuts or He Throws in with McConnell and the Billionaires

RUSH EXCERPT:

BROWN: "Well, it’s not out of step at all with what my party wants to do. The president’s made some comments in the last two weeks, when he spoke, when he did an interview with “Forbes” magazine and part of his speech, a couple of speeches he’s given, where he says he wants to reward those corporations that pay good wages and do their work and do their manufacturing in this country. And he wants to do a tax break for the middle class. That’s not what Mitch McConnell wants to do. And so when I was at the white House, I asked the president to support my patriotic corporation — my patriot corporation act, which simply says, if you pay good wages and don’t outsource jobs and do your production in this country, you get a lower tax rate and my working family’s tax relief act, which will put thousands of dollars in the pockets of middle class families and working class — working families. And the president’s — they paid lip service to that. He does that. It’s a different tax bill, but it’s — there’s a fork in the road. The president either decides to work with Democrats on issues like I just talked about, the patriot corporation act, which he said at that meeting that he likes, or he throws in with Mcconnell and the billionaires. He’s at a fork in the road. If he throws in with Mcconnell and the billionaires, Democrats don’t support it. If he chooses to fight for the middle class and keep production in the United States, not the bill that Mcconnell has, if he does that, it’s a bipartisan bill. That’s what I’ve been saying all along."
