HEARING HIGHLIGHTS
@RepRichardNeal is right. Congressional Republicans are standing up for the strongest and wealthiest, all at OUR expense. We need relief from the 2017 Trump tax code, not more of it. [ LINK ]
@amprog’s Brendan Duke put it bluntly: Extending the Trump tax cuts costs $4.2T, with $2.4T going to the top 2%. That’s as much as proposed cuts to Medicaid & ACA. Higher interest rates and program cuts aren’t a “free lunch”—they’re the bill working families are stuck with. [ LINK ]
@RepThompson : The Trump tax cuts weren’t for working families—they were for the rich. Millionaires got tax breaks 300x bigger than someone making $50K. And now, extending them could add $5T to the debt. Fiscal responsibility? Hardly. [ LINK ]
@RepLindaSanchez: Under Trump’s signature tax scam, “working families only get the crumbs.” Instead, it’s billionaires and wealthy corporations reaping nearly ALL the benefits. [ LINK ]
