Sanders: GOP Tax Bill Is a ‘Disastrous’ Piece of Legislation

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SANDERS: "Surely not the one that’s coming before the Senate. Here are the facts despite what Donald Trump says, despite what my colleagues here will tell you, the tax bills both in the house and the Senate give the lion’s share of tax breaks for the top 1%. 50% of the tax breaks in the house bill going on go to the top 1%. 60% go to the top 1% in the Senate bill. Now, at a time of massive income and wealthy inkwablt when the rich are becoming phenomenally rich, when cooperate pockets are at a all-time high while middle class struggles? Who believes we should tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires and large corporations? This legislation will grow the deficit by $1.4 trillion. Mark my words, mark my words, the day after or soon after this legislation passes, if it does, we’re going to do everything we can to see it doesn’t, these guys are going to come back and say deficit is soaring, we have to cut Social Security, we have to cut Medicare and Medicaid and education. And programs that the middle class and working families desperately need. This is a disastrous piece of legislation. We have to defeat."
