Steve Cohen said "Let me tell you something that is in this bill: There is a repeal of about a $100 billion tax break for the richest people in this country that Trump and McConnell snuck in CARES 1. We didn't see it at first. We found it. We put out a letter asking for support. Do we get one Republican to say yes, I want to join you and get rid of that $100 billion tax break for 80 percent of the people who make $1 million a year or more and had nothing to do with coronavirus? Not one of you. You ought to be for that. That is thievery. That is robbery. Jesse James wouldn't need a mask if he came here. Trump and McConnell didn't have on a mask when they stole from the American people $100 billion for millionaires and billionaires." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
