While Senate Republicans allowed virtually no debate or time to even read the hundreds of pages of &nbsp;hastily-drafted, handwritten bill text, they did manage to add dozens of new giveaways to special interest lobbyists. Republicans are unilaterally taking billions of dollars away from the middle class and handing it over to their billionaire donors and wealthy corporations while destroying the future of our economy.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This is the price of Republican leadership: a tax plan built on lies and written for the rich, by the rich. Voters won&rsquo;t forget this betrayal on Election Day. And as Republicans continue to turn their backs on the people they&rsquo;re supposed to represent, Democrats will keep fighting to build an economy that works for everyone.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><em>El presidente del Comit&eacute; Nacional Dem&oacute;crata, Tom P&eacute;rez, realiz&oacute; las siguientes declaraciones despu&eacute;s de que los republicanos del Senado aprobaran su plan de impuestos sin un &nbsp;voto dem&oacute;crata:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Esta estafa de impuestos es una traici&oacute;n absoluta a las familias trabajadoras de los Estados Unidos. Mientras que los republicanos no permitieron casi ning&uacute;n debate, o tiempo para leer los cientos de p&aacute;ginas del texto con enmiendas hasta escritas a mano, buscaron la forma de incluir nuevas prevendas para sus grupos de inter&eacute;s.
