"President Trump’s tax plan forces working families to pay more while giving the ultra-wealthy and companies like his own a massive tax cut. The damaging effects of the Trump plan are countless, here in Chicago many families could see a tax increase, and could see their healthcare costs skyrocket. Our schools and neighborhood investments will be undermined by these new policies. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Republicans have tried these policies before and they do not work. And our children are left to foot the bill. As a city, we’ll continue to fight back against the reckless Trump agenda that hurts too many of our communities."
