A new report from the Center for Public Integrity published today shows that Senate Republicans weren’t just rewarding their wealthy special interest donors when they passed the GOP tax law in 2017 — they were also lining their own pockets.
The scathing analysis lays out how Republicans in Washington crafted a corporate tax giveaway with key provisions that could help them personally profit from the new tax system. It specifically identifies David Perdue as a wealthy member of the Senate who appeared to profit in the aftermath of helping pass a reckless tax law that is exploding the federal deficit, putting Medicare and Social Security at risk, failing to live up to its promises, and remains deeply unpopular with voters.
