I’ll sum up the new Republican tax plan: The super-rich and big corporations get kickbacks, middle class Americans are left in the dust.

Local representatives weighed in on the proposed Republican tax plan that was unveiled Nov. 2. U.S. Rep. John Faso is undecided on how he will vote on the tax plan, according to his spokesman. “He is still reviewing and undecided,” John Lange said in an email to The Daily Freeman. Several other New York Republicans in the U.S. House said they will vote against the measure because of the reduction in deductions for state and local tax, which will raise taxes for many New Yorkers. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the bill “a tax giveaway to the rich” and said, “Tax legislation is extremely complex and you cannot have a successful bill if you sneak it through in the dead of night.” Senator Kirsten Gillibrand tweeted, "I’ll sum up the new Republican tax plan: The super-rich and big corporations get kickbacks, middle class Americans are left in the dust."
