Chuck Schumer is PISSED. He Wanted You to Keep Paying High Taxes

The Senate has just handed President Trump one of his biggest victories yet by narrowly passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

The legislation was passed by the slimmest of margins in a 51-49 vote.

The lone dissenting Republican was Bob Corker (TN), and, really, no surprise there.

What was a bit surprising was that John McCain fell in line behind the Trump policy.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has PASSED in The Senate with a vote of 51-49. Bob Corker (R-TN) was the 1 Republican opposed to these tax cuts.

At any rate, President Trump was ecstatic, primarily because he’ll likely be able to give the American people a MASSIVE Christmas gift by fulfilling one of his most important campaign promises.

We are one step closer to delivering MASSIVE tax cuts for working families across America. Special thanks to @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell and Chairman @SenOrrinHatch for shepherding our bill through the Senate. Look forward to signing a final bill before Christmas! pic.twitter.com/gmWTny3SfS

To say that Sen. Chuck Schumer’s reaction was quite the opposite would be an understatement.

He tweeted:

In my long career in politics, I have not seen a more regressive piece of legislation, so devoid of a rationale, so ill-suited for the condition of the country, so removed from the reality of what the American people need.

But, before Schumer tweeted that, he actually tried to stop the Senate vote on the bill, insisting that not all the lawmakers had actually read the bill.

Senate votes 48-52 to reject Schumer’s motion to adjourn until Monday to give senators time to read the legislation.

Now, this is rich that Schumer would use such a tactic, considering that even leading Democrats have since admitted that they didn’t actually read the Obamacare bill before ramming it down America’s throat.
