Tim Ryan said "What a day in Washington, D.C. We have many Republicans in this town saying: What a great day it is for the American people; what a great Christmas for America. The average family--63 percent in America--can't withstand a $500 emergency. With this tax cut, Apple is going to get $47 billion and Donald Trump's family is going to get $1 billion. They are going to toss out a few crumbs to working class families who work 60, 70 hours a week, and the fat cats in Washington and Wall Street are going to run off with the whole pot of gold. Whatever happened in this country where we said, To whom much is given, much is expected? We need to challenge the wealthy corporations. They are sitting on $4 trillion worth of cash. If they want to start a factory, buy a machine, or hire workers, they could do it now. They don't need to take it from the middle class. ___________________
