This bill rewards people for inheriting wealth and for already having money, and punishes people still trying to climb the mountain. That’s why people are so angry. Lots of members are Congress are actually too out of touch to understand the rage. But they will next year.

#GOPTaxScam doubles the estate tax exemption from $11 million to $22 million, while raising taxes on millions of middle class families. How many Americans do you think would benefit from the $22 million estate tax exemption? This is exactly the opposite of populism. https://t.co/8KomoqycYt
