Short Link to this Quote:
In this quote, Elizabeth Warren is criticizing tax laws that are skewed to benefit large corporations and wealthy political donors over average working families. She argues that past tax deals have excessively protected the interests of billionaires, big oil companies, and other major political contributors through loopholes and exemptions, while regular families end up shouldering more of the tax burden.
Warren suggests that after so many tax codes that favor powerful donors over citizens, most Americans no longer trust tax reform that does not have their best interests in mind. Her message is that the government should write tax laws to help working people rather than excessively catering to large donors and companies.
