Tax Day is a potent reminder that if House Republicans were to maintain the majority, they would work with former President Trump to rig the tax code to benefit the well-off and well-connected at the expense of middle class families.
The GOP Tax Scam of 2017 was a corporate tax giveaway that disproportionately benefited the ultra rich – and on the stump, Donald Trump is selling his plan to cut taxes for billionaires … to billionaires. More than 40% of the benefits would go to those in the top 5% income bracket, leaving middle class families with the bill.
Vulnerable House Republicans and Republican challengers are poised to once again put politics over people and extend the GOP Tax Scam of 2017 if elected for another term in the majority.
Recent polling shows the overwhelming majority of Americans support plans to tax the ultra rich and massive corporations to make an economy work from the middle-out and bottom-up, not the top-down.
DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“At the behest of Donald Trump, House Republicans are going to rig the system to cut taxes for big corporations and billionaires, leaving working families behind. Thanks to Republican extremism, Tax Day is another reminder that the middle class is fronting the bill for tax cheats, shady billionaires, and multinational corporations profiting from off-shoring American jobs – in other words, Donald Trump’s best friends.”
