Downright awful. U.S. SENATOR ED MARKEY.

I’ve seen some awful proposals in my time as a Senator, David. But the GOP tax scam being pushed through Congress is truly terrible. It would raise taxes on millions of Massachusetts families and weaken tax breaks for clean energy job creation. If it’s passed, countless workers and families will wind up in a worse financial situation just so Republicans can provide a massive giveaway to the wealthy, corporate executives, and the fossil fuel industry. This isn’t a tax plan at all -- it’s a tax scam and if we don’t act, we’ll all be swindled... Even though the GOP plan hikes up millions of Americans’ taxes, Republicans still aren’t able to cover the costs of their deficit-busting plan. So they'll have to turn to their old playbook to close the gap: slice and dice funding for Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. The GOP tax scam pushes the American Dream farther out of reach for millions of Americans -- all to give a slap on the back to millionaires, billionaires, and corporations. Awful doesn’t even begin to describe this tax plan.  Thank you, Ed
