Schumer: Democrats are ready for a big fight over taxes

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said Wednesday that Democrats are prepared to fight with Republicans over tax reform, just hours before Trump traveled to Missouri to build momentum for a Republican legislative effort.

“This is going to be one of the biggest fights of the next three, four months, and Democrats are ready for it,” the New York senator told reporters on a call hosted by a left-leaning group organized to oppose tax cuts for high earners.

Under Schumer, all but three Senate Democrats have said they won’t support tax legislation that cuts taxes for high-income people or adds to federal deficits.

The American people want some relief. This isn’t about cuts for the rich, as Democrats always claim.
