“We are not convinced that the middle class gets a fair shake when it comes to the deductions that have been eliminated, where the tax brackets are set, and whether and where jobs will be created,” said a joint statement.
Reps. Jim Costa, Henry Cuellar, and Daniel Lipinski came together to give this statement.
Mitch McConnell said “for the millions of hard-working Americans who need more money in their pockets and the chance of a better future, help is on the way.”
“When the Senate returns after Thanksgiving, I will bring this must-pass legislation to the floor for further debate and open consideration,” he said.
Hatch said “anyone who says that we’re hiking taxes on low-income families is misstating the facts.”
Now that Republicans have their desired tax bill, it is a wait and see situation. It will take some time to see who really benefits and who doesn’t.
