the claims that outsourcing would be stopped, just like the claims that all this repatriated money would come back and we would see the spurt in investment, they just have proven to be false, in fact, haven't they?
Hasn't the analysis of the passthrough provisions, $400 billion of passthrough changes that Republicans made in their tax law, shown that about half of all that went to those who were making over a million dollars a year?
If the goal of the opportunity zone was to encourage investment in order to provide benefits for the lowest income categories, I think it is difficult to evaluate yet.

Big Pharma has exploited that crisis by raising the cost by 700 percent of the lifesaving opioid overdose drug Naloxone.
Texas is ground zero for voter suppression. Texas Republicans enacted the most stringent voter ID law in the country. They slashed communities across our State through partisan gerrymandering. And now, this year, in what a Federal court…
They noted that he was the sole or principal owner of 500 separate business entities that stretched from Azerbaijan to Miami, and they gave him an all-clear, upon which he asked us to rely without noting that the same firm had proudly…
Selling a gun to a convicted felon, to a perpetrator of domestic violence, to a fugitive from justice, merits a jail term, but those who oppose this reasonable background check bill are enabling just that. Someone who couldn't buy a .22…
The serious border emergency that America is confronted with today is an emergency that Donald Trump has created by ignoring borders--ignoring the borders set forth in our Constitution, borders that were set forth to prevent an…
