The GOP Tax bill continued to be a headache for some. Recently the bill caused a shouting match to take place in Congress.
Trump and most Republicans have been pushing for this bill. The House gave him what he wanted. Then Senate also approved the bill paving the way for some changes.
This was a win for Trump who wanted to see one of his pet projects meet fruition.
Some claimed the bill was more suited for the rich, citing the Trump family. One analyst said the plan could save Trump around $1 billion.
Shouting Match
Democrat Sherrod Brown was furious about the tax overhaul. He had an argument with Republican Orrin Hatch.
Brown said “when the Republicans are in power, the first thing they want to do is give tax cuts to the rich. That’s just what’s — it’s in their DNA.”
Hatch replied to Brown’s comment. He said “I’ve been here working my whole stinking career for people who don’t have a chance. And I really resent anybody saying that I’m just doing this for the rich. Give me a break.”
Hatch said. “I think you guys overplay that all the time and it gets old. And frankly you ought to quit it.”
Anyone could see there were considerably differences between the two men. Nevertheless the bill was passed.
