Senate Republicans passed their first legislative achievement in nearly a year last night by a slim 51-49 margin. The major tax overhaul touted by President Trump as “big big savings for the plumbers, the carpenters, the cops, the teachers, the truck drivers, the pipe fitters. The people that like me best” was quickly pushed through Congress late Friday night in a effort to repay GOP corporate donors.

A clause in the bill delayed tax hikes for the middle class until 2024, when they assume they will be dealing with growing wealth disparity and widespread poverty and therefore able to maintain control of the government.

“It is perfectly disguised so we will never have to take the blame for any of this,” said bill co-sponsor Mitch McConnell (R-SC), “And the money keeps rolling in!”

Democrats complained that they did not receive the 500-page bill for review until 30 minutes before the vote.

“We’re beginning to feel like Republican’s don’t care what we think,” noted Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) “It’s almost like we’re just here to occupy chairs until the next election.”

Without passing the tax plan, many Republicans worried their donations would slow to a trickle as corporate donors purchased Congressional seats with the expectation that they would be compensated through legislation. Because tax policy is too complex for most Americans to understand, passing the bill was simply a matter of public relations.

“The American people are going to suffer because of this bill,” Warren added, “And we will be sure to hold the Republicans accountable until Hannity says we are lying and we go back on the defensive.”

But the Democrats are not without a plan. “Our new strategy will be ensuring that the Republican’s stay in power until 2024 so they will have a very hard time blaming Obama for the tax hikes.”
