The Senate Finance Committee passed the tax reform bill today. The vote was 12 to 11; it was a straight party line vote. The next step is for the measure to be debated and voted upon in the full Senate.
It's sad that not a single Democrat voted to advance the bill. After all, this is a bill that should greatly speed up economic growth across the country. That growth will help everyone. It will be good for those who need jobs. It will be good for those who want raises. It will be good for those who invest. It will be good for American companies that have to compete with foreign competitors. In fact, just about everyone will benefit.
So how can it be that not a single Democrat will vote for this bill? Are they all so stuck in the mindset that private corporations are the "enemy" that they don't want to help US firms grow faster? Are they all so desperate to regain power that they prefer to stick with lies about who will benefit rather than look at the actual facts?
