A response from Sen. Toomey

Not everyone agreed with the opinion we presented in Sunday's editorial on the GOP tax reform plan.

Sen. Pat Toomey for one.

The Republican Pennsylvania senator's office issued a reponse to the editorial, pointing out what they say are inaccuracies. They are right about one thing.

The final version of the plan did restore a version of the alternative minimum tax, as well as the deduction for home mortgage interest.

Sen. Toomey continues to believe that the corporate tax cuts - which we happen to agree with - will be a huge boost to the economy.

But we continue to disagree with him in that the bill is lopsided in its giveaways to the wealthiest Americans.

We'll agree to disagree.
