Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, did not take kindly to some last minute jabs at the tax bill pushed by Senate Republicans from Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH). Brown, a progressive, said that this bill won’t help middle class families, and that it was once again a tax break for the rich.
The House passed their tax reform package yesterday by a 227-205 vote; 13 Republicans voted no. Last night, the Senate Committee on Finance passed their version on a party line 14-12 vote, which paves way for the legislation to make its way onto the floor for a full vote. Hatch torched Brown, saying he felt the ‘GOP favored the wealthy’ is overused by members on his side of the aisle. Moreover, he added that he has spent his whole career fighting for people with fewer chances, and that he himself came from poverty (via CBS News):
