Cicilline Statement on Republican Tax Scam

WASHINGTON – Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC) Co-Chair David N.
Cicilline (RI-01), a member of the House Democratic Leadership, issued the
following statement today:

«Republicans just pulled off one of the biggest cons in the history of American
politics. This job-killing bill gives companies even more incentive to ship American
jobs overseas. It lays the groundwork for devastating cuts to Medicare and Social
Security. It robs working people in order to give even more money to the wealthy.
And it will force the next generation to pay off more than $1 trillion in new
deficit spending.»

«The American people are going to see through this scam. Working men and women
deserve real tax reform that begins with a tax cut for middle class families and
promotes the creation of good-paying jobs. That’s what Democrats will deliver when
we control the House again.»
