Dick Durbin: GOP Tax Plan Will Be ‘Devastating’ to Working Families in Illinois

RUSH EXCERPT:
DURBIN: "Let’s be honest about this. We know the wealthiest Americans are going to get a definite long-term tax cut. Under both plans, house and Senate, the state tax, alternative minimum tax, will be permanently reduced. When it comes to working families, it’s a mixed bag. In my state of Illinois, it’s going to be devastating that they cannot deduct their state and local and property taxes that they pay. They’ll be paying a tax on a tax. This is not a tax break for them."
