Carper Statement on Republican Tax Bill
"This evening,
"When my Republican colleagues unveiled their tax reform proposal last Friday, we knew they'd rejected our pleas for true bipartisan negotiations, and chosen instead to force through a bill in mere days that would remake our entire economy. That alone was incredibly disheartening. To learn this week that their effort would also include a sleight of hand maneuver that will begin dismantling our country's health care system was beyond the pale.

I implore Chairman Hatch and our colleagues on the other side of the aisle: Let's go back to the drawing board and start anew on a real bipartisan basis. Let's write something that can be permanent, that will endure. Let's write a tax reform bill that is truly fair, fosters broad-based economic growth, is simpler and is fiscally responsible. On behalf of all Americans, let's do tax reform right."
