'Not a Good Deal for Working Families': Sanders Votes No on Tax Bill | Common Dreams

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : When all is said and done, this bill would provide at least $3 in corporate tax breaks for every $1 in tax cuts for working families with children.
54% : "At a time of massive wealth and income inequality, we should not be giving tens of billions of dollars in tax breaks to some of the largest and most profitable corporations in America.
52% : "Further, at a time when artificial intelligence and automation threatens to displace millions of American workers, this legislation could provide billions of dollars in tax breaks to companies like Amazon, Google, Verizon, and Facebook to replace workers with machines or robots.
50% : One campaigner said that "Democrats need to think bigger, aim higher, and hold corporations accountable instead of enabling obscene corporate tax dodging in exchange for breadcrumbs for working families."Continuing months of progressive opposition to the bipartisan Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday voted against advancing the bill and highlighted how it would give tax breaks to major corporations.
