It’s no secret that the 2017 Republican tax law Senator Lindsey Graham helped pass amounted to a massive giveaway to corporate special interests and the wealthiest Americans, with little benefit to most Americans.
A new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service details just how “lopsided” Senator Graham’s tax law has turned out to be, with massive giveaways to special interests and little benefits to average South Carolinians. Independent economists agree that the GOP tax law will “likely make income inequality worse.”
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson Stewart Boss released the following statement in response to the new CRS report showing the extent of Lindsey Graham’s tax giveaway:
“It should come as a surprise to exactly no one that Senator Graham supported a massive giveaway to corporations and the wealthy, no matter the impact on South Carolina families. The more we learn about the law Republicans rammed through Congress, the clearer it becomes that Graham was all too happy to sell out working South Carolinians and tip the scales even further for big business and his wealthy donors.”
