THE DAILY QUOTE |

“The Republican tax bill hurtling through Congress is increasingly tilting the United States tax code to benefit wealthy Americans.... With pressure increasing on Republicans to produce a legislative victory, lawmakers are contemplating changes that would exacerbate the tax bill’s divide between the rich and the middle class.”
