Today, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and House Republicans will begin efforts to push their disastrous, deficit ballooning tax bill to bail out big corporations and their billionaire donors – all while hurting hardworking, middle-class families.
While Republicans like Fitzpatrick attempt to deceive the public, the truth is the 2017 GOP Tax Scam:
-
Benefited the rich: households with incomes in the top 1 percent received a massive tax break compared to households in the bottom 60 percent
-
Skyrocketed the deficit, costing nearly $2 trillion over ten years
-
Failed to deliver economic benefits to American workers – instead favoring big businesses and the well-connected
To pay for their Tax Scam 2.0, which would cost another $4 trillion, House Republicans are shopping around a so-called ‘menu’ of cuts that would gut jobs, increase health care costs, and dismantle programs critical to families struggling to keep up with rising costs.
DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“Brian Fitzpatrick’s GOP Tax Scam Part Two will raise costs on Pennsylvania families, gut jobs, and blow up the deficit to pay for tax breaks for his billionaire donors. This is not what the American people voted for.” |
