2018 UT Senate race: on Corporations


Jenny Wilson: Tax cut: Xmas present to corporations; lump of coal for poor

The Democrat seeking to unseat Utah's seven-term Sen. Orrin Hatch says the massive tax reform bill the Republican pushed through Congress this week is a gift for only the wealthiest on Santa's Christmas list and a lump of coal for the state's poor and working families. "I'm sorry to report the Grinch has arrived and the Grinch is Orrin Hatch," Jenny Wilson said

Hatch and his buddies, Wilson said, appear to have done nothing more than work to benefit the special interest groups who fill up their campaign coffers. "Those corporate interests received the biggest presents," she said. standing in front of a row of red Christmas stockings labeled to represent those affected by the tax bill: Children, families, health care, workers and more. The largest stocking was labeled "corporations" and was filled with packages wrapped in shiny holiday paper.
