Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) on Friday ripped a provision in the Senate Republican tax reform bill that gives a tax break to private airplane owners, not noting that a fellow Democrat proposed a similar idea earlier this year.
The latest version of the Senate GOP bill would "lower taxes on some of the payments made by owners of private aircraft to management companies that help maintain, store, and staff those planes for owners," the Hill reported.
The language would exempt owners or leasers of private aircraft from paying taxes on certain costs related to the upkeep and maintenance of the jets, according to a description from the Joint Committee on Taxation
Harris blasted the provision in the GOP bill on Twitter, linking to a Business Insider article about it and writing, "Retweet if you would *not* benefit from a private jet tax break." Her message has been retweeted more than 14,500 times since she posted it Friday morning.
