Kaptur statement after voting “no” on House passage of GOP tax bill

Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), today issued the following statement after the House passed the final version of the GOP tax proposal:

"This bill does nothing to guarantee higher wages, create good jobs or even to prevent corporations from outsourcing jobs. This scam gives the bulk of its trillion-dollar windfall to real estate investors and the millionaire donor class. Where is the middle-class windfall?

"The American people deserve better than this tax deal that was negotiated in secret and rammed through Congress in a matter of weeks. Tax cuts for the rich won't grow the economy nor will it provide relief to the millions of Ohioans who need a leg up."
