Political Quotes

“At least Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor, but my Republican colleagues, with this Republican tax bill, are stealing from the poor and the middle class and giving to the rich. It is absolutely disgraceful. The tax bill boosts the rich and burdens the middle class. I can say I have been here a long time, and this is one of the worst bills I have ever seen in all my years in Congress. What happened to the Republican Party talking about fiscal responsibility? This blows a $1 trillion hole in the Federal deficit and puts the burden on our children and grandchildren. So let's not look at this tax scam.

Let's work together and come up with something good. ____________________”
