The U.S. Senate narrowly approved a tax overhaul, moving Republicans and
President Donald Trump a big step closer to their goal of slashing
taxes for businesses and the rich while offering everyday Americans a
mixed bag of changes and addiding trillions to the National Debt.

The Senate approved their bill in a 51-49 vote with
Democrats complaining that last-minute amendments to win over skeptical
Republicans were poorly drafted and vulnerable to being gamed later by
lawyers and accountants in the tax avoidance industry.
“The
Republicans have managed to take a bad bill and make it worse,” said
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer. “Under the cover of darkness and
with the aid of haste, a flurry of last-minute changes will stuff even
more money into the pockets of the wealthy and the biggest
corporations.”
The framework for both the Senate and House bills was developed in
secret over a few months by a half-dozen Republican congressional
leaders and Trump advisers, with little input from the party’s
rank-and-file and none from Democrats.
