Karen McCormick: Wall Street Banks Saved Billions from the Republican tax cut in 90 days. Middle class Coloradans didn't.

A new analysis from Associated Press shows the six biggest Wall Street banks saved $3.6 Billion – that’s with a B –  in the last 90 days of 2017 on the tax cut bill Ken Buck voted for. JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America did very well thanks to the Republican tax cut bill.

Middle class Coloradans did not. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, in Colorado and 46 other states, the richest 1% will get more from new Republican tax cuts than the bottom 60%.

That’s wrong. And that’s why I’m running – because middle class Coloradans deserve a break, not Wall Street banks. And I know who’s side I’m on, and whose Ken Buck is not – yours. I will advocate for an economy and a tax code that rewards work and helps Colorado’s small farmers, ranchers, local communities and working families, not giant corporations.

Please join me in my fight for economic fairness for Colorado families. Together we can make a difference.
