- Democratic leaders were quick to slam the GOP's tax plan, unveiled on Thursday.
- They argued that the proposal would dramatically exacerbate income inequality by enriching corporations and the wealthy at the expense of middle and working class Americans.
Top Democratic lawmakers and leaders were critical of House Republicans' tax plan unveiled Thursday, calling the proposal "catastrophic" and a "Ponzi scheme" designed to enrich the wealthiest individuals and corporations at the expense of middle and working class Americans.
Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren released a joint video in which they tore apart the GOP plan and argued that it will dramatically exacerbate income inequality.
"This is the issue of our time and if we don't rally the American people to stand up and create an economy that works for all of us ... this country is going to be in deep, deep trouble," Sanders said.
Here are the reactions of some prominent Democrats:
