He did not provide the effective date for the new tax if the legislation is enacted into law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hate stock buybacks,\u201d Schumer said, adding, \u201cI think they are one of the most self-serving things that corporate America does.\u201d The New York Democrat said that companies instead should be investing in worker training, research, modernizing equipment and other activities.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are currently awaiting a ruling from the chamber\u2019s parliamentarian on whether they can use a special procedure to pass the bill by a simple majority, rather than the normal 60 of 100 votes required, to bypass united Republican opposition.<\/p>\n<p>They currently plan to hold an unusual weekend session to push forward on the bill, which would deliver on key goals of the Biden administration ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm elections, when control of Congress is at stake.<\/p>\n<p>All 100 senators will be given an opportunity over the weekend to amend the legislation, amid solid Republican opposition.<\/p>\n<p>The bill, called the Inflation Reduction Act, was unveiled last week by Schumer and Senator Joe Manchin, who like Sinema has often blocked the party\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n<p>It aims to reduce prescription drug costs by allowing Medicare, the government-run healthcare plan for the elderly and disabled, to negotiate prices on a limited number of drugs. <\/p>\n<p>It also would address climate change through new investments in non-carbon emitting energy, while improving tax collections on companies and wealthy individuals.<\/p>\n<p>The bill as initially written would have spent around $430 billion, while reducing government budget deficits by around $300 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The final price tag could change once the legislation is formally introduced this weekend, if all goes as planned.<\/p>\n<p>Sinema revealed late on Thursday that she would support the bill with some changes, including adding funding for drought relief.<\/p>\n<p>Sinema said she would not back the bill unless Democrats nixed the carried interest provision, a longstanding Wall Street tax break that let many private equity and hedge fund financiers pay a lower capital gains tax rate on much of their income, instead of the higher income tax rate paid by wage-earners.<\/p>\n<p>In its place, Democrats added the excise tax, which is estimated to bring in over $70 billion.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Moira Warburton, Rose Horowitch and Richard Cowan;
