David Schweikert Reminds Everyone That He is Determined to Bail Out the Ultra Rich and Hurt Middle Class Families

House Republicans hold a Ways and Means committee hearing to make a case for extending their massive handout to the ultra wealthy

Yesterday, David Schweikert and House Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee once again worked to pacify Donald Trump’s demand to bail out the ultra rich at the expense of working families.

Schweikert remains determined to put politics over people and extend the GOP Tax Scam of 2017. By all objective measures, the scam – which Schweikert voted for – offered nothing but lies to working families, who saw no change in earnings, while top executive salaries increased sharply.

If the Schweikert’s Tax Scam was extended or made permanent, it would disproportionately benefit the top 5% of income earners.

REMINDER: David Schweikert has already endorsed the GOP Tax Scam 2.0 as a part of the recent Republican Study Committee budget.

DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
“David Schweikert is selling out working families to please Donald Trump and his ultra wealthy donors. Arizona families want Congress to prioritize lowering costs for the middle class, making the wealthy pay their fair share, and building up an economy that works for all Americans – not a government giveaway to the well-off and well-connected.”
